Extra Protein Recipe

Protein Preparation

1. 1

   Cook Chicken Breast

   In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

2. 2

   Prepare Tofu

   Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the tofu cubes. Cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. 3

   Cook Chickpeas

   If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.

4. 4

   Prepare Quinoa

   Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
