60 grams Quinoa

100 grams Broccoli

Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breast for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

Rinse quinoa thoroughly to remove its natural bitter coating.

This meal keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep.

Directions

Rinse 60.0 grams of quinoa under cold water.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 120.0 milliliters of water. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Season 150.0 grams of chicken breast with your preferred spices or marinade.

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the juices run clear.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

While the chicken is grilling, steam 100.0 grams of broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes.

You can use a steamer basket or microwave in a covered bowl with a splash of water

Serve the grilled chicken breast alongside a portion of quinoa and steamed broccoli.

Notes

Those with chicken allergies or sensitivities should avoid this dish.
