Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken with Quinoa and Roasted Vegetables
×
Ingredients
- 10 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 2 cups quinoa
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 2 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 large red onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In the meantime, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Prepare the vegetables by tossing the diced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the vegetables are roasting, grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
- To serve, place a scoop of quinoa on each plate, top with grilled chicken, and add a generous portion of roasted vegetables.
