INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
½ cup cooked Quinoa
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a plate and rub half of the lemon garlic mixture over it.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is in the oven, toss the asparagus with the remaining lemon garlic mixture on another baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Prepare the quinoa according to package directions if not already cooked.
To serve, plate the chicken breast with a side of roasted asparagus and ½ cup of quinoa for a balanced, flavorful meal.
