Method
Preparation
Cook the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Set aside.
Prepare the Chicken
While the quinoa is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add spinach and cherry tomatoes. Cook until the spinach wilts and tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Assembly
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine. Add crumbled feta cheese and gently mix.
