Ingredients

  • 500 g Coles RSPCA Approved Chicken Mince
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 100 g spinach
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes
  • 1 each cucumber
  • 1 each lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold running water and drain.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  3. While the quinoa cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Add minced garlic and chicken mince to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle cumin, salt, and pepper onto the chicken mixture and stir well to evenly coat.
  6. Prepare the vegetables: cut cherry tomatoes in halves, slice the cucumber, and wash the spinach.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the juice of one lemon with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper to make a simple dressing.
  8. To assemble, divide the quinoa into four serving bowls. Top each bowl with an equal portion of chicken mince, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
  9. Drizzle the lemon-olive oil dressing over the top of each bowl.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
