03 — Method
- Rinse the quinoa in a fine strainer for 1 minute to remove its bitter coating.
- Simmer covered in 400 ml (1⅔ cups) of salted water for 15 minutes, then rest 5 minutes off the heat. The grains should be translucent with a little white tail showing.
- Meanwhile, flatten the chicken between 2 sheets of parchment to an even 1 cm (⅜ in). Rub both sides with the paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in the nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Rest for 3 minutes, then slice on the diagonal 1 cm (⅜ in) thick.
- Prep the vegetables: wash and dry the spinach, halve the tomatoes, peel and julienne the carrot. Slice the avocado and drizzle with lemon juice.
- Whisk 1 tbsp of olive oil with the rest of the lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Divide the warm quinoa between 2 bowls and arrange the chicken, tomatoes, spinach, carrot and avocado on top. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
