INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
8 Spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse the quinoa and cook it according to package instructions, then set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix lemon juice with one minced garlic clove.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through, lightly brushing with the lemon garlic mixture during cooking.
While the chicken cooks, trim the tough ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, add the other minced garlic clove, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Slice the pan-seared chicken and serve over a bed of cooked quinoa, with the roasted asparagus on the side. Optionally drizzle any remaining pan juices or extra lemon juice over the dish.
