Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast with Quinoa and Roasted Broccoli
Zesty lemon and cracked black pepper marinated chicken breast grilled to perfection, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa with tender-crisp roasted broccoli.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Quinoa
1.5 cups Broccoli florets
1.25 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
1/2 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the broccoli florets with half of the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, then spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli for 15-20 minutes until the edges are slightly charred and tender.
While the broccoli roasts, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cracked black pepper in a small bowl.
Brush the chicken breast with the lemon pepper marinade on both sides.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa and fluff it with a fork, then plate it alongside the roasted broccoli and sliced chicken breast.
