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)

Preparation

  • 1.

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • 2.

    In 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.

  • 3.

    In 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.

  • 4.

    Season 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.

  • 5.

    Transfer 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.

  • 6.

    Serve the herb-crusted chicken with quinoa on the side, garnished with fresh parsley.
