PREPARATION

1
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside to keep warm.
2
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
3
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
5
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a plate.
6
In the same skillet, add the trimmed asparagus spears and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
7
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the asparagus and return the chicken to the pan briefly to coat in the juices.
8
Plate the fluffy quinoa, top with the zesty asparagus, and place the golden chicken breast on top to serve.
