This recipe of mine is great for those days where you just need something super yummy and super healthy. Quinoa is one of the most protein rich foods we can eat as well as being full of almost twice as much fibre as other grains. Paired with a good protein like chicken and some good fruit and veggies this is a great meal to help keep to that New Years resolution that I know you've all made.
For the chicken:
500g chicken breast
1 egg
2 tbsp chilli flakes
2tbsp of garlic flakes
2tbsp rosemary
Salt & pepper to season
Cut the chicken breasts into strips.
Beat the egg in a bowl and coat all the chicken strips in the egg.
Next mix all the herbs and spices, including the salt and pepper, in another bowl.
Dip the chicken strips into the herbs and spice mix so it is roughly coated.
Place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at 200C/392F/Gas Mark 6
For the potato wedges:
2-3 sweet potatoes
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Chop the sweet potatoes into wedges
Place on a baking tray and drizzle over some oil and salt and pepper to season
Bake in the oven at 200C/392F/Gas Mark 6 for 45 minutes
For the salad:
300g of quinoa
2 tubs of pomegranate seeds or 1 pomegranate
150g feta cheese
2 sprigs of mint
Baby spinach leaves
10 cherry tomatoes
6 spring onions
Rinse the quinoa in cold water.
Bring 900ml of water to the boil before adding the quinoa and cooking for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile put the spinach leaves into a salad bowl.
Chop the tomatoes, mint leaves, and spring onions and add to the bowl.
Add the pomegranate seeds and crumble the feta cheese over the top,
Once the quinoa is cooked drain if needed before fluffing with a fork and adding to the salad.
And there you have it. Dish it all up onto a lovely plate of yummy healthiness and enjoy.
I hope you like this recipe, let me know if you decide to make it I'm sure you'll love it.
Until next time,
