Ingredients

  • 150g Chicken Breast
  • 150g quinoa
  • 80g red pepper
  • 80g butternut squash
  • 20g harissa paste
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • fresh mint

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and butternut squash, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  3. 3

    Season the chicken breast, butterfly it so it cooks evenly, then grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until the juices run clear (75°C in the thickest part).

  4. 4

    Loosen the harissa with lemon juice and brush it over the protein before cooking. Swirl a little extra harissa through the yoghurt to serve.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and butternut squash for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: quinoa first, then the veg and chicken breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh mint.
