Instructions:
Start by cooking the quinoa. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain well. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken while cooking.
While the chicken is cooking, steam the mixed vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside to rest for a few minutes.
In the same skillet used for cooking the chicken, add the cooked quinoa, lemon zest, and the juice of the remaining half lemon. Stir well to combine and coat the quinoa with the lemon flavor.
Serve the lemon herb chicken alongside the lemon quinoa and steamed vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
This balanced chicken meal is packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients from the quinoa and vegetables, making it a quick and healthy option for any day of the week.
