INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Swiss Chard
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Place the 5-ounce chicken breast in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs to create a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions until fluffy.
For the chard, rinse thoroughly. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the chard and cover lightly to allow it to wilt for about 2-3 minutes. A splash of water can help the process.
Steam the marinated chicken either using a steamer basket over boiling water or in a covered skillet with a minimal amount of water. Steam for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Plate the steamed chicken alongside a serving of fluffy quinoa and wilted chard. Optionally, drizzle any remaining marinade over the plate for extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal.
