Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
2. 2.
   Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then place it in the skillet. Cook on each side for about 5-6 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. This ensures the chicken remains juicy and fully cooked.
3. 3.
   While the chicken cooks, prepare the creamy sauce. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir until smooth. This adds richness and a tangy flavor to the dish.
4. 4.
   Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet with the chicken. Toss lightly in the garlic-infused oil left in the skillet, allowing it to absorb the flavors.
5. 5.
   Slice the cooked chicken and serve it over the quinoa. Drizzle the creamy yogurt sauce on top and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy while warm, and if you find the sauce too thick, thin out with a teaspoon of water.
