Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Tender chicken breast pan-seared until golden and finished with a bright, zesty lemon-garlic glaze over fluffy quinoa and sautéed zucchini.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup sliced zucchini
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest, keeping the skillet on the heat.
Add the sliced zucchini and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for about 3 minutes until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
Pour in the lemon juice and add the lemon zest, stirring to deglaze the pan and coat the zucchini in the bright sauce.
Slice the chicken and serve it over the cooked quinoa, topped with the sautéed zucchini and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
