Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Veggie Medley

A flavorful dish of lemon herb-infused chicken breast paired with a vibrant array of roasted vegetables, providing a nutritious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4-6 oz chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the lemon herb marinade over it. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini with the remaining marinade.
  5. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and place the marinated chicken breast on top.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Meanwhile, rinse and drain the quinoa. In a small pot, bring water to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until water is absorbed.
  8. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley.
  9. Serve the roasted chicken and vegetables over the quinoa, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
