INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup dry Quinoa (approx 50g)
1 cup roasted Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest.
Meanwhile, toss the broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until edges are crisp.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Toast the dry quinoa in a small pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Then add water (using a 2:1 water to quinoa ratio) and simmer for 12-15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
Plate the seared chicken sliced against the grain, then add a serving of crunchy quinoa and roasted broccoli on the side. Serve warm.
