Instructions
1
Rinse Quinoa: Fill a medium bowl with 2 cups cool water. Place the Quinoa in the
bowl and allow to soak for 3-4 minutes. Then drain the water out of the bowl.
2
Next you will want to rinse the quinoa for another 30 seconds under cold water.
This allows the outer shell to open. Now you can cook the quinoa.
3
Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat, add 1/2 cup water and the rinsed quinoa
to the sauce pot. Cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes, until the water has
soaked completely into the quinoa.
4
While the quinoa is cooking cook the chicken. Heat a stove top pan to medium
heat. While the pan is heating season the chicken breast on both sides, using
black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flake.
5
Once the pan is hot, add the extra virgin olive oil to the pan. Place the
chicken immediately in the pan. Leave it there on medium heat for 2 minutes,
then flip to the other side and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Both sides
should start to become golden brown, but the center will still look
uncooked…if not golden, give each side another minute…your pan wasn’t hot
enough.
6
Then turn the heat to low and cover the chicken with a lid. Let it cook for
about 6 minutes, then flip and cover again, cook for additional 6 minutes. After
6 minutes on each side covered, the chicken should be done. But this does depend
on the size of the chicken breast…these times are based on a 6 oz breast. It
is always best to check the internal temperature of chicken before serving.
7
Add your spinach and tomatoes to a serving bowl, or meal prep container.
8
Once the quinoa is finished, remove from the heat. Add the butter, chives and
season with salt, stir to combine. Then place in your serving bowl or meal prep
containers.
9
Now, your chicken should be done, remove it from the pan and cut into bite size
pieces. Add the diced chicken to the bowl. The base of your bowl is complete.
10
To finish it off, top with your sliced avocado and shaved red onion!
