Instructions
1

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to create a herb-infused oil.

2

Pat the rotisserie chicken dry with paper towels and rub the herb-infused oil all over the skin, ensuring even coverage.

3

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange over the chicken, allowing the citrus juices to soak into the skin.

4

Season generously with salt and pepper, then place the chicken in a roasting pan. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

5

While the chicken is roasting, prepare the quinoa salad by rinsing 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

6

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

7

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with 1 cup of diced cucumber, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.

8

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon, then toss to combine. Once the chicken is done roasting, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

9

Serve the chicken alongside the quinoa salad, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor.
