Method

Mains

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is well-coated.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breast on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse 0.5 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.

Sides

  1. 4

    Prepare the Broccoli

    While the chicken and quinoa are cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Carrot Sticks

    Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into sticks approximately 3 inches long. Set aside.

  3. 6

    Serve with Hummus

    Place the carrot sticks alongside the steamed broccoli on the dinner tray. Serve with 0.25 cup of hummus for dipping.

Dessert

  1. 7

    Serve the Dessert

    Scoop 1 serving of chocolate mousse into a small dessert dish and place it on the tray for dessert.
