Chicken, Quinoa & Veggies

  • 5oz Chicken breast
  • 1 Cup Green/Yellow sliced Zucchini
  • 1/3 Cup sliced Sweet Red Peppers
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 small fresh Lemon or Lemon Juice.
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1/2 Cup Cooked Quinoa
  • Fresh Basil (optional)
  1. Cut the Chicken breast into small pieces.
  2. Add Olive Oil to a pan on medium/high heat. Add chicken and season with a squeeze of Lemon, Salt & Pepper. (Additional spices can be added according to preferences- I added a dash of Onion and Garlic Powder).
  3. When the Chicken is light brown, add the Veggies.
  4. Ones your Veggies are tender, add the Cooked Quinoa and Soy Sauce and cook only untill warm.
  5. DONE!! Serve with Fresh Basil!

Tips:

  • This meal can easily be made VEGAN by replacing the chicken with TOFU or Chickpeas. 
  • Make this with left-over grilled chicken. Just start the recipe off with the veggies and add the chicken when the veggies are almost fully cooked.
