Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lobster tails (about 6 oz / 170 g each), thawed if frozen
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 oz / 225 g each), pounded to even thickness
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice (about 360 g cooked)
  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional garnishes: avocado slices, toasted sesame seeds, fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the lobster shell lengthwise, stopping before the tail fan. Gently pull lobster meat up and rest on top of shell. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes until opaque and tender.
  2. While lobster cooks, whisk olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Marinate for 10-15 minutes (up to 30 minutes if time allows).
  3. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken breasts and sear each side for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  4. Fluff cooked quinoa or rice with a fork and divide between two bowls. Arrange baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and parsley on top.
  5. Place sliced lemon-herb chicken and roasted lobster meat over grains and greens. Drizzle chili crisp generously on top. Add optional garnishes like avocado slices and toasted sesame seeds.
  6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Do not overcook lobster to avoid rubbery texture. Marinate chicken for at least 10 minutes for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding pan when cooking chicken to ensure proper sear. Start with less chili crisp if sensitive to heat. Quinoa can be swapped for cauliflower rice for low-carb option. Use coconut oil instead of butter for dairy-free version.
