INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
8 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Brush the chicken breast evenly with the lemon herb mixture. Allow it to marinate for 10-15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin becomes crisp.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not pre-cooked. Fluff with a fork once done.
Steam the asparagus until tender, approximately 4-6 minutes, ensuring they remain bright and crisp.
Plate the chicken breast alongside a serving of fluffy quinoa and steamed asparagus. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
