INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked quinoa (185g)
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (125g)
1 cup chopped carrots (128g)
3 ounces grilled chicken breast (85g)
1 tsp olive oil
Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp mixed fresh parsley and thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the chopped carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic, then spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the carrots in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the carrots roast, prepare the quinoa as per package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
Season the grilled chicken breast with a little salt and pepper if desired. Slice it into bite-sized strips.
To the quinoa, add the rinsed chickpeas, roasted carrots, and sliced chicken.
Mix in the minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, and chopped fresh herbs. Toss everything together until evenly distributed.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
