ABOUT THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsps Chicken Broth

  • 3 tbsps Tamari

  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil

  • 1 1/2 tsps Coconut Oil

  • 2 tbsps Raw Honey

  • 500g Chicken Breast (diced into cubes)

  • 3/4 cup Quinoa (uncooked)

  • 1 1/4 cups Filtered Water

  • 2 cups Frozen Peas (thawed)

  • 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds

  • 1 tsp Red Chilli Flakes

PREPARATION

In a small jar, combine the broth, tamari and sesame oil. Shake well to combine and set aside. 


Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and saute for about 5 minutes. Add the tamari-based sauce and the honey. Saute for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. 


While the chicken cooks, combine quinoa and water in a sauce pot. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside. 


Warm the green peas. 


Divide the chicken, green peas and quinoa between plates. Drizzle the quinoa with any leftover chicken marinade from the skillet. Garnish with sesame seeds and red chilli flakes. Enjoy!
