Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.

  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. Add Aroma: Reduce the heat to medium, add minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Toss in the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts slightly.

  5. Finish with Quinoa: Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet, stirring to combine all the ingredients.

  6. Squeeze Lemon: Squeeze a wedge of lemon over the mixture for a burst of freshness.

  7. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the cooked chicken and quinoa mixture to a plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
