This one-pan wonder is designed for busy individuals who want a delicious and macro-friendly dinner without the fuss. The combination of lean chicken, fresh asparagus, and whole-grain quinoa provides sustained energy and a powerful protein punch to support your fitness goals. It’s a clean, simple, and satisfying meal that’s ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients
  • 5 oz Boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 oz Asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup Cooked quinoa
  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Dried herb blend (thyme, rosemary, or Italian)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Directions
  1. Season the chicken cubes with salt, pepper, and the dried herb blend.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add the asparagus pieces and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the cooked quinoa and lemon juice, tossing everything together to combine. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve warm.
