Instructions

1 Start by heating a medium saute pan to medium heat.
2 While the pan is heating season your chicken on both sides with pepper and
garlic powder. Once the pan is hot add your oil to the pan, then immediately add
your chicken breast to the pan. Cook for two minutes on each side. Then cover
with a lid, turn the heat to low, and cook for an additional 9 minutes per side.

The amount of time covered does depend on the size of your chicken breast. 1
minute per ounce, per side, typically turns out a perfectly juicy chicken
breast!
3 While the chicken is cooking, bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot.
Once the water is boiling add your quinoa to the pot. Cook the quinoa for 20
minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning.
4 Once your quinoa has been cooking for 15 minutes add your garbanzo beans, kale,
pistachios, cranberries, and oil to the pot. Season with pepper, garlic, and
salt. Stir together and cook for the remaining 5 minutes.
5 Once your quinoa bean mixture is cooked, remove it from the heat, then plate in
your serving bowl. Arrange your sliced cuties on top of the quinoa mixture.
6 Once your chicken is finished, slice into bite-size pieces and fan out on top of
your quinoa and oranges! Serve and enjoy!
