Ingredients

120 grams Chicken Breast
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Courgette (zucchini)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 pinch Sweet Smoked Paprika
1/4 tsp tsp Dried Rosemary
1/4 medium Red Onion
50 grams Quinoa
90 ml Vegetable Stock/Broth
2 cloves Garlic
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Grab a medium bowl and toss in that chicken beast. Sprinkle on some rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a good toss to coat the chicken in all those delicious flavors.

Step 2: Time to heat things up! Grab a large non-stick skillet and heat up half the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and let it sizzle for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer those juicy chicken pieces to a plate and resist the urge to snack on them just yet!

Step 3: Don’t stop the sizzle! Add the other half of olive oil to the skillet and throw in some roughly chopped onion, courgette, and red bell pepper. Let them get all tender and delicious for about 4 to 5 minutes. Then, toss in some sliced garlic and let it cook for 1 minute. Your kitchen will be smelling amazing by now!

Step 4: Time to add in the quinoa and broth. Stir it all into the veggie mix and bring it to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, cover it up, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Nestle the chicken back into the quinoa party and let it cook (covered) for another 20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6: The chicken is ready to make its grand exit to a plate. But don’t forget about the quinoa! Stir in some fresh spinach to add a pop of color and nutrition. Serve it all up with your chicken superstar and season to taste.
