Zesty Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with bright citrus and fresh herbs served over fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and asparagus spears, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant green and crisp-tender.
In a small bowl, fluff the warm cooked quinoa and stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.
Plate the lemon quinoa, top with the sliced chicken breast and sautéed asparagus, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
