Method

Main Course

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Side Dish

  1. 4

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes and cucumber. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, and parsley.

  3. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the salad and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Dessert

  1. 7

    Prepare the Brownie Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

  2. 8

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the brownie batter into a greased baking pan. Bake according to package instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  3. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
