Quinoa, cooked212.0 g
Spinach, fresh84.8 g
Olive oil10.5 g
Lemon juice and zest (fresh)25.5 g

Instructions

1

Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

2

Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the pan and sear until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.

3

In the same pan, add the spinach and a splash of water, tossing quickly until just wilted.

4

In a bowl, combine the warm cooked quinoa with the lemon juice, lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine so the grains are fluffy and bright.

5

Slice the chicken into thin diagonal strips.

6

To plate, spread the lemon-scented quinoa in a shallow bowl, top with the vibrant wilted spinach, and arrange the sliced chicken breast over the top. Garnish with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
