⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breast with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor. Season both sides with the dried Italian herbs, ensuring even coverage for a balanced taste.
  2. 2.
    Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F and develop a golden brown color. If it starts to burn, reduce the heat slightly.
  3. 3.
    While the chicken is grilling, combine the cooked quinoa and drained black beans in a small saucepan. Add a splash of olive oil and toss them together over low heat until warmed through, stirring to ensure even heating.
  4. 4.
    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken moist and flavorful.
  5. 5.
    Slice the chicken and serve it over the quinoa and black beans mixture. Drizzle any remaining olive oil from the pan over the top for extra flavor.
