Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  •  
  • 1 lb of chicken breast or tofu for a plant-based version, opt for tofu
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for healthy fats
  • 1 cup fresh spinach full of essential vitamins and minerals
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved (bursting with antioxidants)
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped (for a sweet and tangy kick)
  • 1/2 cup quinoa a high-protein, gluten-free grain
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled (optional, for a creamy texture)
  • Juice of 1 lemon adds brightness
  • 1 tsp cumin adds warmth
  • 1 tsp paprika for depth of flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Cook the quinoa:
  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa with 1.5 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork.
Prepare the protein:
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast (or tofu) with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked. If using tofu, cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until crispy and golden. Once done, set aside.
Sauté the vegetables:
  1. In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil and sauté the red onions for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Stir in cumin and paprika.
Combine all ingredients:
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and your choice of protein. Add lemon juice, crumbled feta (optional), and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Serve:
  1. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added color and aroma.

Notes

  • Substitutions: For a vegetarian dish, tofu works wonderfully. You can also swap quinoa for couscous or brown rice if preferred.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month.
 
  • Serving Suggestions: This dish can be served as a wrap, over leafy greens, or with a side salad for a complete meal.
