Quinoa Bowl with Roasted Chicken and Sautéed Kale
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- While the quinoa is cooking, place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until wilted. Add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top with the sliced roasted chicken and sautéed kale. Serve hot and enjoy!
