Ingredients

Method

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. 

On 1 prepared pan, toss broccoli florets and stems with 1 tbsp of the oil; sprinkle with 1/4 tsp each of the salt and pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, stir together 1 tbsp of the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and shallot.

Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/2 tsp each of the salt and pepper. In bowl, whisk eggs with mustard until smooth. In separate bowl, stir together flour and thyme. Place puffed quinoa on large plate. Dredge 1 cutlet in flour mixture, turning to coat and shaking off excess; dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge in quinoa, pressing to adhere; place on remaining prepared pan. Repeat with remaining cutlets.

In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium heat. Cook 2 cutlets, flipping halfway through, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to plate; cover to keep warm. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to pan; repeat with remaining cutlets.

Scrape broccoli into bowl with shallot mixture; add Parmesan, tossing to combine. Serve with chicken.
