Ingredients
Peri- peri sauce (Link In Bio) – 1 small sauce boat
Quinoa- 1/4 th cup
Water – 1 cup
Garlic cloves(chopped) – 5-6
Kale leaves
Chilli flakes
Himalayan Salt and pepper to taste

Lime juice

Broccoli florets- 1/2 cup
Red and yellow bell peppers- 1/2 cup
Cherry tomatoes (halved)- 5-6
Salt and pepper to taste
Avacado slices
Method
In a pot, add thoroughly washed quinoa along with the water, garlic & salt. Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer on low flame till you see white ring around pearls of quinoa. When almost all the water has been absorbed, add kale leaves along with some chilli flakes and give it a toss. Use a fork and fluff it up! There should be a nice bite to the quinoa. Toss the quinoa into a serving bowl.
Now marinate the chicken with salt, pepper, peri-peri spice and lemon juice.
Then heat a dash of olive oil in a pan and add the chicken slices on high flame. When it’s nice and brown on both sides and cooked through, take it out and top it on one side of the quinoa.
Now in the same pan, add sliced garlic, sauté till golden, then add a splash of water followed by the
broccoli florets. (Blanching of the broccoli hence is not needed) . Then add the yellow & red bell peppers and sauté till they are tender. Throw in the cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and take it off of the pan. Add it next to the chicken.
Slice up some avocado, squeeze some lime juice on it and place it between the veggies and the chicken. Serve your heart- healthy quinoa chicken immediately with the prepared peri- peri sauce. Told you na Healthy is not boring! 😉
