Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Bowl
Tender chicken breast pan-seared with aromatic herbs and bright lemon zest, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp sautéed zucchini.
INGREDIENTS
0.25 cup dry quinoa
0.5 cup water
6 oz chicken breast
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp lemon zest
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup zucchini
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, combine the dry quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
While the quinoa cooks, slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon zest.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and sear for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same pan, add the chopped zucchini and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
Stir the fresh lemon juice into the cooked quinoa.
Assemble the bowl by placing the lemon quinoa at the base, topped with the sautéed zucchini and the herb-crusted chicken. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
