Directions

Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a saucepan, bring 150ml of water to a boil, add the quinoa, reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Season chicken breast with a pinch of salt (optional) and black pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.

Cube the zucchini and mixed peppers.

Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Blanch the French beans and shred the carrots and lettuce.

In a serving bowl, layer the quinoa as the base.

Arrange the lettuce, zucchini cubes, mixed bell peppers, sweet corn, olives, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and French beans around the bowl.

Place the sliced chicken on top.

Drizzle peri-peri sauce over the bowl and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Toss lightly before serving. Enjoy your nutrient-packed bowl!
