5 oz Chicken breast

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 cup Broccoli florets

0.5 cup Cooked quinoa

1 tbsp Lemon juice

1 tsp Lemon zest

1 clove Garlic

1 tsp Fresh parsley

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Heat half of the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

• 3

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 4

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

• 5

  Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest for 3 minutes.

• 6

  Lower the pan heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil along with the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 7

  Whisk in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

• 8

  Serve the chicken over the fluffy quinoa with the steamed broccoli on the side, finishing with the lemon-herb sauce poured over the protein.
