Quinoa Chicken Spinach Nergi Bowl
Description
This recipe assembles cooked quinoa with fresh spinach and shredded chicken breast in a large bowl, melding mild, nutty grains, leafy greens, and lean protein. The addition of nergi berries—a small, sweet, and tart fruit similar to grapes—adds bright pops of flavor and juiciness that contrast with the tender ingredients. Sunflower seeds sprinkled on top contribute a subtle crunch and nutty notes. Served immediately, the bowl highlights the freshness of spinach and fruit alongside hearty quinoa and chicken. The recipe suggests not slicing the nergi if meal prepping, to preserve texture. An optional dressing of honey, lime juice, and lime zest can be added for a citrusy sweetness that complements the components, enhancing the overall balance without overpowering the natural flavors.

- 2 cups quinoa cooked
- 4 cups spinach

Notes
