chinese chicken quinoa

We've been getting questions about meal prep, so we thought we could show the simple stages of some of our favourites. Here's our Chinese flavoured one pot. High in protein and rich in nutrients 💪 .
Makes 4 portions (you're going to need some large meal prep tubs!)

SAUCE…
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
4 tbsp light low sodium soy sauce
1.25 cups water
2 large garlic cloves minced 
1 tbsp ginger minced .

INGREDIENTS…
500g chicken breast
1 cup quinoa uncooked 
3 peppers
200g mushrooms
3 carrots 
2 onions .

SERVED WITH…
2 broccoli heads
180g green beans

HOW TO…

Preheat oven to 170 degrees (fan)

Make the sauce by mincing the garlic and ginger, then mixing in the soy sauce, hoisin and water.

Now chop the veggies and chicken.

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly, then pour into the oven dish (quinoa needs to go in first).

Now pour the sauce in, followed by the veggies.

Place the chicken on top of the veg, season and cover in foil.

Bake for 45mins, take out to stir, then bake for another 30mins (approx) until quinoa and chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Serve with your choice of greens (we had broccoli and green beans).

Optional...

This is a low fat meal, so for more balance add cashew nuts - I would normally do this, however we had one of our healthy protein cheesecakes calling to us from the fridge! You could also add fresh chilli and a tbsp of honey.
