Ingredients
Chicken and Quinoa
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 chicken breast cut into cubes, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1.5 cup water
- 3 cups spinach
Balsamic Dressing
- 40 ml olive oil
- 40 ml balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- In a pan, melt half your butter and cook your mushrooms. After they've cooked through, place the mushrooms aside on a plate.
- Back in the pan, melt the other half of your butter and place your garlic in. After a minute and the garlic is fragrant, add in the cut chicken. Stirring occasionally, cook chicken until lightly browned.
- Pour in the quinoa and water into the pan, cover it, and bring it to a boil before turning down the heat to a simmer. The quinoa should take around 15-20 minutes to cook.
- While the quinoa is cooking, in a bowl, mix together your olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Once the quinoa is cooked, mixed your spinach in until it's a little wilted, and then add the mushrooms back into the pan.
- Stir everything together and it drizzle your balsamic dressing into the pan if you are serving immediately.
