GRILLED CHICKEN W/ CUMIN QUINOA & STEAMED VEGGIES

Time: 15 Minutes
Yield: 4 Servings
(7 Item Recipe)

Ingredients:

16 Organic Chicken Tenderloins
2 Cups Organic Quinoa (We buy the bulk quinoa)
1/4 Cup Organic Onion, chopped
1/2 Head of Fresh Organic Broccoli, Steamed
1 Organic Carrot, sliced, steamed

Directions:

In a small pot cook quinoa according to package instructions, adding 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 cup chopped onions. When quinoa is 1/2 way done start chicken and steamed veggies.  In a large heated pan cook the chicken a couple minutes on each side turning until golden.  While chicken and quinoa are cooking steam one carrot and 1/2 head of broccoli.  All should be done together plate food and enjoy.

Affordability:

This meal comes in at under $2 per plate the meal for four came in at under $10 for a family of 4.  Children tend to eat less pieces of chicken so if you are not preparing the meal for 4 adults then you will be using less and bringing the cost down.  Who ever said healthy foods were expensive?  This meal tends to be way less then fast food for 2 or even store bought pre- made meals.  It is extremely nutritious and delicious and very affordable for all.

Dipping Sauce for Chicken:

I love to make this dipping sauce for chicken.  Take 1/4 Cup olive oil, 1/4 cup minced onion, 1/4 cup lemon juice, Teaspoon of fresh parsley, sea salt and pepper.  Mix up well and serve on the side as a dipping sauce.  I like to put some over top my chicken and my quinoa too.
