Method

Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts evenly.

    Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

Quinoa Salad

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.

    In a saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.

  3. 7

    Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.

  4. 8

    Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
