Preparation of Chicken

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

3. Chop Parsley

While the chicken is cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnish.

Preparation of Quinoa

4. Rinse Quinoa

In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove its natural bitterness.

5. Cook Quinoa

In a saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

Preparation of Salad

6. Prepare Vegetables

Dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes. Combine them in a bowl.

7. Combine Salad

Once the quinoa is cooked and slightly cooled, add it to the bowl with the cucumber and tomatoes. Toss gently to combine.

Serving

8. Plate the Dish

On a plate, serve the quinoa salad as a base and place the grilled chicken on top. Garnish with chopped parsley.

9. Enjoy

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
