INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.75 tbsp avocado oil

0.5 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup broccoli florets

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 clove garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Cut the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch chunks and season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 2

  Heat the avocado oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

• 3

  Place the chicken chunks in the pan in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for proper browning.

• 4

  Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them until a deep golden crust forms on the bottom.

• 5

  Flip the chicken chunks, add the minced garlic to the pan, and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

• 6

  While the chicken finishes, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.

• 7

  Turn off the heat on the skillet and drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful browned bits.

• 8

  Serve the seared chicken chunks alongside the steamed broccoli over a bed of warm cooked quinoa.
