Ingredients

  • 190g Chicken Thigh
  • 255g quinoa
  • 80g mushrooms
  • 80g cauliflower
  • 20g lemon juice
  • 5g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • fresh parsley, thyme & black pepper
  • 10g butter
  • 5g olive oil
  • lemon wedge

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the mushrooms and cauliflower, 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

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Toss the protein in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs before cooking, and squeeze over more lemon to finish.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the lemon wedge.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the butter, olive oil for extra energy-dense calories.
