Chipolata Chicken And Quinoa Food

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN QUINOA BOWL WITH BROCCOLI AND TOMATO

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breast into 1-inch chunks and add to a gallon freezer bag. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano and salt and pepper then add to the bag, seal, and marinade for at least 30 minutes up to overnight.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the broccoli and tomatoes to the pan with more olive oil if needed, and warm through.
• Meanwhile, cook the quinoa. Rinse it in a fine mesh strainer under cold water first. Bring a sauce pan of water to a boil over high heat, then add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and the quinoa. Boil it like pasta, until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, fluff with a fork, and return the quinoa to the pot, cover with a kitchen towel, then a lid and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
• To assemble the bowls, divide the quinoa between the bowls and top each with half of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Season with more kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and drizzle with more olive oil if you'd like. Sprinkle with feta cheese crumbles and serve.

CHICKEN QUINOA BOWL

Steps:

• Cook the red quinoa according to the package instructions. Stir in the lime zest and juice, a pinch of cilantro and a pinch of salt. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill for cooking at medium heat.
• Drizzle the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle all over with the taco seasoning and a pinch of salt. Grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside to rest.
• Build the bowls by splitting the quinoa between two bowls. Slice the chicken breasts and place around the edges of the bowls. Continuing around the outside of each bowl, add the Roasted Corn Salsa and sliced avocado. Crumble the queso fresco on top and add a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with the remaining cilantro, lime wedges and a drizzle of hot sauce.
• Toss the corn, cherry tomatoes, onion and pimientos in a bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro and salt. Toss and set aside.

• Tip in the garlic and beans, and stir-fry for 2 mins. Add the chilli and spices, then stir in the quinoa and sweetcorn. Pour in 700ml just-boiled water with 1/2 tsp flaked sea salt and bring to the boil.
• Return the chicken to the pan, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12 mins, stirring regularly and turning the chicken occasionally. Add the kale and cook for a further 3 mins or until the quinoa and chicken are cooked through.

• Meanwhile, cook the quinoa in the chicken stock for 15 mins until tender, adding the apricots and lentils for the final 5 mins. Drain and place into a large bowl with the chicken, toss together.
• While the quinoa is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan and soften the onions for 10-15 mins. Toss the onions into the quinoa with the coriander and some seasoning, then mix well.

Add the chicken breasts and gently simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with the stock cubes. Add the quinoa and cook for 15 mins until tender, adding the beans for the final min. Drain well and stir in the coriander and lime juice, then check for seasoning before covering to keep warm.
