INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/8 cup chopped Pecans
1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine the chopped pecans with a drizzle of maple syrup. Press the chicken breast into the mixture, ensuring it gets a good crust on all sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until the pecan crust is slightly toasted.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and finish cooking in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Plate a serving of quinoa, top with the roasted broccoli, and then slice the maple-pecan crusted chicken over the top. Drizzle any remaining maple glaze from the pan over the chicken.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, balanced meal.
