Barbeque chicken goes a long way in this dish. Shred and add to quinoa and vegies for a quick and healthy dinner.

Ingredients

Quinoa

½ cup(s), (100g)

Olive oil

1 tbs

Brown onion

1 medium, thinly sliced

Curry powder

1 tbs

Cauliflower

400 g, cut into small florets

Zucchini

2 medium, chopped

Cooked skinless whole chicken

500 g, shredded

Greek yoghurt, plain, low-fat, no added sugar

Fresh mint

Instructions

  1. Place the quinoa in a saucepan with ½ cup (125ml) water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered for 12 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Drain.

Add the cauliflower, zucchini and stock. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until tender. Uncover, stir in the peas and cook until the liquid has evaporated.
