Pat 5.5 oz chicken tenderloins dry with a paper towel and season evenly with 0.25 tsp sea salt, 0.25 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp dried oregano.
Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.
Carefully place the chicken tenderloins in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is searing, place 1 cup broccolini in a steamer basket over boiling water and cook for 5 minutes until vibrant green and crisp-tender.
Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low, add 2 cloves minced garlic, and sauté for 1 minute while spooning the melted ghee over the chicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and finish the chicken with 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp fresh parsley.
Serve the seared chicken alongside the steamed broccolini and 0.5 cup warm cooked quinoa.
