QUINOA, PESTO, FETA AND CHICKEN STACK

Steps:

• Sauté chicken breasts using the butter. Slice into fajita size strips or dice.
• Rinse the quinoa.
• Bring water to boil, add quinoa, bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 12 min or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes.
• Dice veggies and garlic.
• In a pan bring olive oil up to temperature using high heat. Add onions stir quickly to coat with oil. Don't let them brown.
• Add garlic and stir again.
• Add diced peppers and stir.
• Reduce heat to low and sweat them for about 15 minutes.
• When the veggies are finished, drain if necessary, and mix with the pesto sauce.
• Serve by putting a serving of quinoa on a plate, top with veggie and pesto mix, then put chicken on and top with feta.
• If you prefer you can do this without the chicken and my family finds it delicious.

GRIDDLED CHICKEN WITH QUINOA GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the quinoa following the pack instructions, then rinse in cold water and drain thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, mix the butter, chilli and garlic into a paste. Toss the chicken fillets in 2 tsp of the olive oil with some seasoning. Lay in a hot griddle pan and cook for 3-4 mins each side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, dot with the spicy butter and set aside to melt.
• Next, tip the tomatoes, olives, onion, feta and mint into a bowl. Toss in the cooked quinoa. Stir through the remaining olive oil, lemon juice and zest, and season well. Serve with the chicken fillets on top, drizzled with any buttery chicken juices.

OLIVE FETA CHICKEN WITH QUINOA

Steps:

• Pit and break into pieces the kalamata olives - set aside in bowl with juices. Heat oil in large skillet. Brown chicken thighs. Cut peppers into nice bite size pieces and add to chicken and saute. Add olives, olive juice, and juice from feta cheese to the chicken and peppers and continue to cook. When nearly done sprinkle some feta on top. I usually serve this with quinoa (1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water - boil for 3 minutes and let stand for 30. I also add a cup of frozen peas to the quinoa about 5 minutes before serving, or just add some flavour by putting 1 - 2 Tbsp miso paste while cooking)
