INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp fresh sage leaves

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp lemon juice

0.25 cup chicken broth

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1.5 cup broccoli florets

0.5 cup cooked quinoa

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 3

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate to rest.

• 5

  In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped fresh sage, sautéing for 1 minute until highly fragrant.

• 6

  Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful browned bits.

• 7

  Simmer the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes until it has slightly reduced and thickened.

• 8

  While the sauce simmers, steam the broccoli florets for 4 to 5 minutes until they are vibrant green and crisp-tender.

• 9

  Plate the cooked quinoa and steamed broccoli alongside the chicken, then drizzle the warm sage sauce generously over the chicken before serving.
