Main Dish Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Cook the Chicken
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
Sauté the Garlic and Veggies
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the cherry tomatoes and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Combine Chicken and Veggies
Return the chicken to the skillet and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top, allowing it to melt slightly. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Quinoa Preparation
Rinse the Quinoa
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
Cook the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed.
Finish the Quinoa
Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley for added flavor.
