Seared Chicken Breast with Herb-Roasted Vegetables and Quinoa
Pan-seared chicken breast served over fluffy quinoa and herb-roasted zucchini and peppers, finished with a savory golden-brown crust.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
0.65 cup cooked Quinoa
0.75 cup sliced Zucchini
0.5 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
0.5 teaspoon dried Oregano
0.5 teaspoon dried Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the sliced zucchini and red bell peppers with one teaspoon of olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Roast the vegetables for 15 to 20 minutes until they are tender and show light char marks.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the quinoa according to the package instructions or warm up pre-cooked quinoa.
Season the chicken breast evenly with dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and a golden-brown crust has formed.
Divide the quinoa between plates, top with the roasted vegetables and seared chicken, and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
