Ingredients
Quinoa Rice
- 135g quinoa rice mix
- 1¼ cups water
Chilean Chicken
- 300g chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon Chilean spices
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Salad
- 1 tomato
- ½ capsicum
- ½-1 apple
- ½ bag baby spinach
- 25g smoked chilli vinaigrette
To Serve

Steps
-
Preheat BBQ grill to high (if using). Combine quinoa rice mix, water and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
-
While rice cooks, pat chicken dry and toss in a shallow bowl with Chilean spices and salt. Set aside for 5 minutes to marinate.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side, until cooked through. Set aside, covered, to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly.
-
While chicken rests, dice tomato 1cm and thinly slice capsicum and apple.
-
Place veggies in a large bowl, along with spinach and smoked chilli vinaigrette. Toss and season to taste.
-
To serve, place ¾ cup cooked quinoa rice into each bowl and top with Chilean chicken, spring onions, pebre salsa and salad.
