5.5 oz chicken breast

0.5 cup cooked quinoa

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tbsp ghee

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 clove garlic

1 tsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 4

  Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to keep the juices locked in.

• 5

  Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 6

  Pour in the fresh lemon juice and add the ghee, whisking constantly to incorporate the flavorful browned bits from the pan.

  Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley and remove the sauce from the heat.

• 8

  Plate the chicken alongside the warm cooked quinoa and steamed broccoli, then spoon the lemon-herb sauce over the chicken.
