PAN ROASTED CHICKEN
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Set the pan on the stove to high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add 2 Tbsp. of olive oil.
- Salt and pepper the chicken and drop it in the pan skin side down.
- Once the chicken is cooking, drop the stove temperature down to med/high.
- Once the skin starts to look golden brown, put it in the oven at 375℉.
- Once the interior of the chicken reaches 165℉ and juices run clear, pull it out of the oven.
- On medium heat, place the saucepan back on the stovetop with the chicken and add sage, rosemary, oregano, thyme, 4 cloves garlic (or any spices to your liking), and 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter.
- Once the butter is melting, keep basing the chicken with the butter.

- Keep it on simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed – or cook to package directions.
- Once the liquid is absorbed, dump the quinoa into a medium mixing bowl and fluff it up with a spoon or a fork.
- Chop and sauté some turnip and beets in a saucepan with olive oil until tender.
