INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup broccoli florets

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel to ensure a proper sear.

• 2

  Season both sides of the chicken evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

• 3

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Place the chicken in the pan and sear for 5-7 minutes without moving it, until a golden-brown crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

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

• 7

  Warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave until fluffy.

• 8

  Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

• 9

  Plate the chicken alongside the quinoa and broccoli, then drizzle everything with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley.
