Enjoy succulent herb-seared chicken thighs paired with tender steamed green beans and a light serving of quinoa. This dinner features a perfectly balanced plate of protein, fiber, and whole grains, elevated by aromatic herbs and a hint of olive oil, creating an appealing and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Thigh (200g)
1/8 cup dry Quinoa
1 cup Green Beans
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
1 sprig Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken thigh dry and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet. Sear the chicken thigh for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, rinse the quinoa under cool water. In a small saucepan, add the quinoa and water (using the recommended water-to-quinoa ratio on the package) and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy.
Steam the green beans by placing them in a steamer over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
Plate the dish by placing a serving of quinoa, then top with the herb-seared chicken thigh. Arrange steamed green beans on the side and enjoy your balanced dinner.
