INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

2 cup cremini mushrooms

1 tbsp ghee

2 cloves garlic

0.5 cup cooked quinoa

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp fresh thyme

1 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized pieces and halve or quarter the cremini mushrooms so they are a similar size to the chicken.

• 3

  Mince the garlic cloves finely and strip the fresh thyme leaves from their woody stems.

• 4

  In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the ghee, then whisk in the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves.

• 5

  Place the chicken pieces and mushrooms in a large mixing bowl, pour the garlic ghee mixture over them, and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated.

• 6

  Spread the chicken and mushrooms onto the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer to ensure they roast rather than steam.

• 7

  Roast in the center of the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms have developed a golden-brown, caramelized exterior.

• 8

  While the chicken roasts, warm your pre-cooked quinoa in a small pan or the microwave.

• 9

  Serve the roasted chicken and mushrooms over the fluffy quinoa and finish with a bright drizzle of fresh lemon juice.
