INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli
1.5 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Fresh Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and your oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and minced garlic. Reserve half of the mixture for the chicken marinade and the other half for tossing with the broccoli later.
Place the 4 oz chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the reserved citrus-garlic marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, cook quinoa if not pre-cooked. Rinse quinoa thoroughly, then combine with water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Toss the broccoli with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread it out on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the edges begin to crisp. In the final 5 minutes, drizzle with the remaining citrus-garlic mixture.
Grill the marinated chicken breast for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the juices run clear.
Plate the grilled chicken alongside the cooked quinoa and roasted broccoli. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, citrus-infused lunch.
