Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Chicken Breast

    Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs or spices. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Sauté the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, about 10-15 minutes. Season with soy sauce or your favorite marinade.

  3. 3

    Cooking the Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  4. 4

    Preparing the Black Beans

    If using canned black beans, drain and rinse them under cold water. In a small saucepan, heat the beans over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with cumin, garlic powder, and salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Cooking the Eggs

    In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until scrambled and fully cooked.

  6. 6

    Combining Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together the sliced chicken breast, sautéed tofu, cooked quinoa, warm black beans, and scrambled eggs. Add Greek yogurt on top for creaminess and extra protein. Toss everything together gently until combined, and serve warm.
