Seared Chicken Thighs with Grilled Zucchini and Quinoa
Pan-seared chicken thighs served over fluffy quinoa and charred zucchini ribbons, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon for a bright, zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 medium Zucchini
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside is golden brown.
While the chicken cooks, slice the zucchini into long, thin ribbons or half-moons.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest; in the same pan, add the zucchini and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa if necessary and place it in the center of a plate.
Top the quinoa with the seared chicken and grilled zucchini, then drizzle everything with fresh lemon juice before serving.
