Zesty Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken
Chicken breast roasted with a zesty lemon-herb marinade until golden, served alongside tender steamed broccoli and nutty quinoa for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup broccoli florets
0.5 cup sliced carrots
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the lemon-herb mixture.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is slightly golden.
While the chicken roasts, place the broccoli florets and sliced carrots in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Slice the roasted chicken and serve it over the bed of quinoa with the steamed vegetables on the side. Garnish with fresh lemon zest if desired.
