Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow squash, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- 3In a large bowl, toss the chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow squash, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- 4Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- 5Transfer the seared chicken to the baking sheet with the vegetables. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- 6Serve the herb-crusted chicken with quinoa on the side, garnished with fresh parsley.
