Lemon-Herb Chicken Breast with Quinoa
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and fresh herbs, served over fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a bright, nutrient-dense lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Quinoa, cooked
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh thyme
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is beautifully golden brown.
During the final 4 minutes of cooking, add the asparagus spears and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until the asparagus is crisp-tender and vibrant green.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest over the chicken and vegetables, tossing gently to coat in the pan juices.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and place it in a shallow bowl, then top with the lemon-herb chicken and sautéed asparagus.
