Seared Chicken Breast with Quinoa and Roasted Broccoli
Pan-seared chicken breast served over fluffy quinoa and oven-roasted broccoli, finished with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of smoky paprika.
INGREDIENTS
5.4 ounces Chicken Breast
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
1.5 cups Broccoli florets
1.25 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
0.25 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the broccoli florets with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on the baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli for 15-18 minutes until the edges are slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, prepare the quinoa by simmering it in water or low-sodium vegetable broth until all liquid is absorbed and it is fluffy.
Season the chicken breast with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Assemble your lunch by placing the quinoa and roasted broccoli in a bowl, topping with the sliced chicken.
Drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice just before serving for a bright finish.
