Ingredients
- 1 tsp chicken stock powder
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp, Salt and Pepper
- 400g chicken breast, sliced into 4 thin pieces
- 3/4 cup quinoa, uncooked
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 400g green beans, top and tailed
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
Method
- Place a pot on the stove with the boiling water. Add the quinoa, stock powder, and almond extract to the water, bring to the boil then partly cover and simmer until the water has absorbed.
- Just before the water absorbs put the beans in with the quinoa and leave in there for at least a few minutes to soften a little.
- While the quinoa is cooking, heat a non-stick pan over a high heat. Cook the chicken all the way through then plate up straight away with the beans and couscous and squeeze lemon juice over straight away. Top with almonds and serve.
