Grape and Chicken Quinoa Salad

Ingredients for Grape and Chicken Quinoa Salad:

Chicken breasts - 4

Cajun spice mix - 2 tbsp.

Quinoa - 2/3 cup

Water - 1/3 cup

Large potato - 1 (peeled and boiled)

Seedless red grapes - a handful (cut in half)

Mangold leaves - 5 oz (washed, dried, and finely diced)

Lemon - 1/2 (juiced)

Salt - to taste

Ground black pepper - to taste

Method of preparing the Grape and Chicken Quinoa Salad:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cut horizontal slices in the chicken breast, rub them with the Cajun spice mix, and lay them nicely in a baking dish.
Pour the olive oil over the seasoned chicken breast to avoid having them dry out, and place them in the oven for 25 minutes. Make sure to turn them over midway.
Cook quinoa in water, bring the pot to a boil, cover the pot, lower the flame and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large bowl along with the mangold leaves and the halved grapes.
Cut the spiced and cooked chicken breasts into strips and add them to the bowl along with all the pan drippings.
Add the quinoa, mix all the ingredients together and dress in lemon, salt, and pepper.
Serve warm.
