INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
3/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the marinade: in a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breast on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked; typically, this involves rinsing the quinoa and simmering it in water until fluffy. Measure out 3/4 cup of the cooked quinoa.
Plate the grilled chicken alongside the steamed broccoli and quinoa. Optionally, drizzle a tiny bit more olive oil over the quinoa for extra flavor and gloss.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed lunch!
