Seared Chicken Breast with Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring tender, seared chicken breast paired with perfectly roasted broccoli and a delicate serving of quinoa. This balanced dish brings together savory seared protein with the fresh, earthy flavors of broccoli and the subtle nutty notes of quinoa, all finished with a drizzle of olive oil for added richness.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Chicken Breast (128g)
1/4 cup uncooked Quinoa (43g)
1 cup Broccoli (91g)
3.5 teaspoons Olive Oil (16g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the broccoli.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the quinoa with water (use a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water), bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 12-15 minutes until water is absorbed. Once done, fluff with a fork.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, and any herbs of choice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small portion of the olive oil from the measured amount (reserve the rest for broccoli) and sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, toss the broccoli with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Plate the sliced chicken breast alongside a serving of quinoa and roasted broccoli. Serve immediately.
