Description
A delicious meal designed to help you target thigh fat effectively while enjoying satisfying flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of skinless chicken breast, chopped into bite-size pieces
- 2 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup of quinoa
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare quinoa: Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water. In a medium-sized pot, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
- Cook chicken: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they are translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add chicken to the pan: Add the chicken pieces to the pan. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally so the chicken is evenly cooked and no longer pink.
- Incorporate spinach: Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the chopped spinach to the pan. Stir well, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts down.
- Mix in quinoa: Finally, add the cooked quinoa to the pan. Squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture and stir everything together until well combined.
- Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature. Great for lunch or dinner, pairs well with fresh vegetables or a salad.
