Regal's LifeStyle Change Meal Suggestions

Ingredients

• 4-6 oz chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup zucchini, diced
• 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
• 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
• 1/4 avocado, sliced
• Water for cooking quinoa

Instructions

1. 1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest and juice, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. 2. Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. 3. While the chicken marinates, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
4. 4. Steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. 5. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly charred.
6. 6. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, steamed broccoli, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, zucchini, cucumber, and scallions. Toss to mix.
7. 7. Plate the chicken breast with the quinoa medley on the side. Top with sliced avocado.
8. 8. Serve immediately, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
