Enjoy tender, chipotle-infused grilled chicken tenders paired with a refreshing cilantro lime quinoa. This vibrant dish delivers a harmonious blend of smoky spices and zesty citrus, offering a balanced and delicious lunch that's both nourishing and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Tenders
1/2 tsp Chipotle Powder
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Lime (juice and zest)
1 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, whisk together chipotle powder, olive oil, garlic powder, juice from half of the lime (reserve the other half for quinoa), salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken tenders to the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken tenders for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and nicely charred.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the quinoa. In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the juice of the reserved lime half, lime zest, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
Plate the cilantro lime quinoa and top with the chipotle grilled chicken tenders. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
