Ingredients

  • 200g Chicken Breast
  • 255g quinoa
  • 80g red cabbage
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 50g salsa
  • 50g red onion
  • 15g lime
  • 2 tsp fajita seasoning
  • 50g guacamole
  • 20g cheddar cheese
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the red cabbage and cherry tomatoes, 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

    Toss the protein and onion in fajita seasoning and cook over high heat until charred. Finish with lime juice and spoon salsa over the top.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the red cabbage and cherry tomatoes for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the guacamole, cheddar cheese for extra energy-dense calories.
