0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Season the chicken breast slices evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 3

  Add the chicken slices to the pan in a single layer and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

• 4

  While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli florets until they are crisp-tender and vibrant green.

• 5

  Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

• 6

  Add the minced garlic to the same pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 7

  Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful browned bits.

  Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly, then stir in the fresh parsley and return the chicken to the pan to coat before serving with the quinoa and broccoli.
