Directions

Step 1

Zest and juice the lemons. Set aside the zest for the chicken marinade and the juice for the quinoa.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine lemon zest, turmeric, garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken breasts with this mixture. Let marinate for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the marinated chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.

Step 4

In a pot, bring chicken broth and lemon juice to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.

Step 5

Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Stir in chopped mint leaves and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Serve the chicken over the minted quinoa pilaf. Garnish with additional mint and lemon slices if desired.
