Prep Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 6

Crisp and juicy pan fried chicken in balsamic, garlic and olive oil, mixed into an incredible loaded salad with Kalamata olives, Feta, Lemon flavoured Quinoa and sweet grape tomatoes.

Lemon Quinoa
½ cup dry quinoa
1 cup water or vegetable or chicken stock (or water mixed with 1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder)
Pinch of salt to season
Juice of ½ a lemon
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine quinoa, stock and salt together. Bring to the boil; reduce heat to gentle simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes or until broth has absorbed and quinoa is soft. Remove from heat and set aside while still covered and allow to steam. After about 2 minutes, fluff with a fork. Allow to cool slightly and add the lemon juice.

Chicken
6 boneless chicken thigh or breast fillets, trimmed of fat
1 tablespoon garlic (or plain) olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder/granules or 1 clove garlic, crushed
Directions
Add the chicken fillets in a large skillet or nonstick pan with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, stock powder and garlic powder/granules. Saute the chicken until nice, crispy and golden on both sides, and cooked through. Remove from heat; allow to cool slightly, and slice into 1-inch strips.
