PREPARATION

1
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook in a small pot with 0.4 cups of water until all liquid is absorbed and grains are fluffy.
2
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
3
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and crispy and the center is cooked through.
5
Add the asparagus spears to the skillet during the final 5 minutes of the chicken's cooking time, sautéing until they are tender-crisp.
6
In a small bowl, toss the cooked quinoa with the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.
7
Slice the chicken into strips and serve over the bed of lemon quinoa alongside the sautéed asparagus.
