With tender paprika chicken breast, an excellent source of lean protein, and quinoa, a gluten-free wholegrain also rich in protein, dietary fibre and antioxidants, this is a satisfying and super healthy dish that is filled with wonderful flavours and textures.

Paprika Chicken with Quinoa Tabbouleh

adapted from taste
  • 150 g Regular white quinoa, well rinsed
  • 300 ml Water
  • 2 tbsp Parsley leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Olive herb leaves
  • 3 tbsp Mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 Tomatoes, diced
  • 3 stalk Spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 50 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Paprika powder, plus extra to sprinkle
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • Pinch of cayenne
  • 1 tsp Caster sugar
  • 100 g Low-fat thick Greek yoghurt
  • 1/2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 x 180 g Chicken breast fillets
  • Sea salt, to season
  1. Combine 300 ml water and rinsed quinoa in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Transfer to a large bowl. Set aside to cool.
  2. Add herbs, tomato, and spring onion to quinoa and toss to combine. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, cumin, cayenne and sugar, then season with salt.
  3. Place yoghurt in a bowl and drizzle over 2 teaspoons dressing, then sprinkle with some paprika. Toss the salad in remaining dressing.
