Step 1

In a large pan or pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and season it liberally with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the quinoa and broth. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce heat to low. Then, add the broccoli and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all of the liquid.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the pan. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.

Step 8

Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
