4.5 oz chicken breast

0.33 cup cooked quinoa

0.5 cup red bell pepper

0.25 cup red onion

1 tsp olive oil

0.5 tsp chili powder

0.25 tsp cumin

0.13 tsp cayenne pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 3

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the center is fully cooked.

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the pan to rest, then add the diced red bell peppers and red onions to the same skillet, sautéing until tender-crisp.

• 5

  Stir the cooked quinoa and black beans into the skillet with the vegetables, tossing for 2 minutes to warm through and absorb the remaining spices.
