Lemon Herb Pan-Seared Chicken
Tender chicken breast pan-seared with aromatic herbs and bright lemon zest, served alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender steamed broccoli.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup broccoli florets
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the exterior is deeply golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken is searing, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until they are vibrant green and just tender.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes before drizzling with fresh lemon juice and sprinkling with lemon zest.
Plate the chicken alongside the warm quinoa and steamed broccoli, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
