Ingredients

For the Main Dish

2 pieces Chicken breast a lean protein source
1 cup Quinoa a nutrient-rich grain
2 cups Spinach packed with vitamins and minerals

For the Marinade

2 tablespoons Olive oil adds healthy fats
2 tablespoons Lemon juice brightens up flavors
1 teaspoon Garlic powder adds depth of flavor

Method

Preparation

Gather lean proteins like chicken breast or fish, along with colorful veggies such as bell peppers and broccoli.
Sprinkle your proteins with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned protein and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side.
In the same skillet, toss in your chopped vegetables. Sauté for around 5-6 minutes until they’re tender yet crisp.
Once both the protein and veggies are ready, mix them in a large bowl or serve directly from the skillet.
