INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Garlic clove
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, trim the asparagus ends and toss them in the remaining marinade.
Place the marinated asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Prepare the fluffy quinoa by gently reheating or fluffing with a fork if pre-cooked.
Plate the chicken alongside the quinoa and roasted asparagus. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired and serve warm.
