Grilled Chicken with Quinoa and Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients:
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 4-6 ounces each)
– 1 cup cooked quinoa
– 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.

3. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.

4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the mixed vegetables with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly browned.

5. While the vegetables are roasting, grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through. Make sure to discard any remaining marinade.

6. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.

7. To serve, divide the cooked quinoa onto two plates. Top with the grilled chicken slices and roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
