A one pot plan for the whole family!
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons avocado oil
2 chicken breasts

4 cups of water
2 cup of quinoa
2 cups cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 cup basil leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper
Instructions:
Place a large saute pan (with higher sides) over medium high heat and add oil once heated.
Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you create 4 thin chicken breasts.
Sprinkle chicken breasts with some salt and pepper.
Add chicken to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side (or until chicken is cooked throughout).
Then to that pan add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes.
Add water and bring it to a boil, then add in quinoa, cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic and a pinch of salt.
Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve 1/4 of the quinoa with 1 piece of chicken breast.
