Skinnytaste high protein Step-by-Step Preparation

Step 1: Cook the Quinoa First, wash your quinoa under cold water in a strainer. This makes it taste better. Please put it in a pot with the broth or water and add a little salt. Turn the heat to high until it starts boiling. Then turn the heat to low and put a lid on the pot. Let it cook for 15 minutes, don’t take the lid off! After 15 minutes, turn off the heat but keep the lid on for five more minutes. Then remove the lid, use a fork to fluff it, and mix in the lemon juice.

Step 2: Make the Chicken. Rub olive oil all over both sides. Then sprinkle on the garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Make sure the spices cover the whole chicken. Heat a pan on medium-high heat until it’s really hot. Put the chicken in the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes. Flip it over and cook the other side for 6-7 minutes more. The chicken is done when you cut it, and clear juice comes out, not pink. Take it off the pan and let it cool for 5 minutes before cutting it into thin slices.

Step 3: Make Crunchy Chickpeas. Turn your oven to 400°F. Open the can of chickpeas and drain all the water out. Use paper towels to make them really dry, this is important so they get crispy! Please put them in a bowl and add olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt. Mix everything. Spread the chickpeas on a baking tray so they’re not piled on top of each other. Put them in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Every 10 minutes, shake the tray a bit to help them cook evenly. They’re ready when they look golden brown and feel crunchy.

Step 4: Cut Up the Vegetables. While everything is cooking, wash all your vegetables. Cut the cucumber into small cubes. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Chop both bell peppers into small pieces. Slice the red onion very thin. Get your carrots shredded, you can buy them already shredded to save time! Keep all the vegetables separate for now. Please don’t cut the avocado yet because it turns brown quickly.

Step 5: Make the Dressing. Get a small bowl or a jar. Put in the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, crushed garlic, honey, and a little salt and pepper. If you’re using a bowl, mix everything really well with a whisk or spoon. If you’re using a jar, just put the lid on and shake it hard for about 30 seconds. Taste it and add more salt or pepper if you want.

Step 6: Put Everything Together. Now comes the best part, building your bowl! Get a big bowl and put about 3-4 cup of quinoa at the bottom. Add some salad greens on top. Then add your sliced chicken, the crispy chickpeas, and all the vegetables you chopped cucumber, tomatoes, both peppers, onion, and carrots. Put avocado slices on top. Finally, pour the dressing all over your bowl. Now it’s ready to eat!s or complicated techniques to eat healthy food and feel great.
