Ingredients

• 500.0 g chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 200.0 g quinoa (rinsed)
• 1.0 unit red bell pepper (diced)
• 200.0 g broccoli florets
• 2.0 tbsp olive oil
• 2.0 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 2.0 tsp garlic (minced)
• 1.0 tsp ginger (grated)
• 0.5 tsp salt (to taste)
• 0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2.0 unit spring onions (sliced)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the chicken breast pieces to the pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil. Add the red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Meanwhile, cook the quinoa according to package instructions, usually about 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
5. Return the chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Add the cooked quinoa, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes over low heat to allow the flavours to meld.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced spring onions before serving.
