Quick Lemon Herb Chicken with Quinoa
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and fresh herbs, served over a light bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken finishes, add the minced garlic and trimmed asparagus spears to the empty spaces in the pan, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until the asparagus is vibrant and tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables to deglaze the pan and create a light sauce.
Place the fluffy cooked quinoa on a plate, top with the sliced chicken breast and asparagus, and pour any remaining pan juices over the top before serving.
