Before You Start

Pat the chicken dry and season it, trim the green beans, rinse the spinach, and cook the quinoa if it is not ready.

How To Make It
  1. Sear the chicken breast in the olive oil over medium heat, 5 to 6 minutes per side, until golden and it reaches 165°F in the center with no pink, then set it aside.
    165°F
  2. Cook the green beans in the same pan with a splash of water, 4 to 5 minutes, until bright and just tender.
  3. Add the spinach and garlic and cook, 1 to 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts.
  4. Dress the vegetables with the lemon and parsley off the heat.
  5. Slice the chicken and serve it with the vegetables over the quinoa.
Fix It: If the chicken browns before it reaches 165°F, lower the heat and cover the pan so the center cooks through.
Air Fryer
  1. Heat the air fryer to 380F.
  2. Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
  3. Cook for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
  4. Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
