Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let it rest.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Bell Peppers

    In a skillet, add a bit of olive oil and sauté the mixed bell peppers until they are tender, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Plate

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve it on a bed of quinoa, topped with sautéed bell peppers and chopped cilantro.
