Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Fluffy Quinoa
Tender chicken breast roasted with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a vibrant, nutrient-dense dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup quinoa
1 cup asparagus
0.5 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then combine with 1 cup of water in a small pot; bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub with half of the olive oil, sea salt, pepper, oregano, and minced garlic.
Place the chicken on the baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
Toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt, then add to the baking sheet with the chicken.
Continue roasting for another 10-12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in the lemon juice.
Slice the chicken and serve over the quinoa alongside the roasted asparagus.
