Quick Microwave Fluffy Quinoa Bowl
Nutty quinoa steamed to fluffy perfection in the microwave and tossed with tender chicken breast and fresh baby spinach for a vibrant, high-protein bowl.
INGREDIENTS
0.25 cup Quinoa
0.5 cup Water
5 oz Chicken breast
1 cup Baby spinach
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water to remove its natural bitter coating.
Place the rinsed quinoa and water into a large microwave-safe glass bowl.
Cover the bowl tightly with a microwave-safe ceramic plate to trap the steam.
Microwave on high power for 6 minutes, then carefully remove the bowl using oven mitts.
Let the bowl sit undisturbed and covered for an additional 5 minutes to allow the grains to fully absorb the moisture.
Remove the plate and fluff the quinoa with a fork until the grains are light and separated.
Stir in the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice to season the grains.
Add the baby spinach to the warm quinoa and toss until the leaves are slightly wilted.
Top the bowl with sliced cooked chicken breast and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving.
