  Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.

  Heat 0.5 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  Place the chicken in the pan and sear for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 4

  While the chicken is searing, steam the broccoli florets for 4 to 5 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.

• 5

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and finely chopped fresh parsley.

  Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for 3 minutes before slicing into strips.

  Plate the sliced chicken over the warm cooked quinoa and steamed broccoli, then finish by drizzling the fresh lemon-herb sauce over the entire dish.
