Ingredients

  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 cups of broccoli florets
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup of quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well in the marinade.
  3. Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and surround it with broccoli florets and halved cherry tomatoes.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  5. While the chicken is baking, cook the quinoa. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil, then add the rinsed quinoa. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the lemon juice.
  7. Serve the baked chicken and vegetables over a bed of quinoa, garnished with fresh parsley.
