Seared Chicken Thighs with Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a well-balanced dinner featuring a succulent, seared chicken thigh paired with hearty quinoa and roasted broccoli. The dish offers a satisfying blend of tender protein, wholesome grains, and crisp vegetables with a hint of olive oil for enhanced flavor.
INGREDIENTS
1 large boneless, skinless chicken thigh (approx 200g)
1/4 cup dry quinoa
1 cup broccoli florets
1/3 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain.
In a small saucepan, combine the dry quinoa with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed, removing from heat to let it steam for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, season the chicken thigh generously with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken thigh. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked through.
In a mixing bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Plate the seared chicken thigh alongside a serving of quinoa and roasted broccoli. Enjoy a balanced dish combining savory protein, nutritious grain, and crisp vegetables.
