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
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the lemon herb marinade over it. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini with the remaining marinade.
- Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and place the marinated chicken breast on top.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Serve the roasted chicken and vegetables over the quinoa, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
