5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup quinoa

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup broccoli florets

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water and place it in a small saucepan with 0.5 cup of water.

• 2

  Bring the quinoa to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.

• 3

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

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

• 5

  While the chicken cooks, place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.

• 6

  Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and stir in half of the fresh lemon juice.

• 7

  Slice the cooked chicken into strips and serve it over the bed of quinoa and steamed broccoli, drizzling the remaining lemon juice over the entire dish.
