Ingredients

  • 455g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Fajita seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, sliced
  • 340g cooked Great Value® Organic White Quinoa

Preparation

  1. Combine the chicken with Fajita seasoning and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  4. Remove the pan from heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and salsa.
  5. Add the cooked chicken-vegetable mixture to the bowl with the quinoa and salsa. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Dish the fajita mixture into eco-friendly meal-prep containers and store in the refrigerator. You can enjoy this for up to 5 days.
  7. To reheat, pour the Chicken Fajita quinoa mixture into a Pyrex dish or reheat on the stove top with a non-stick skillet, and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Serve with a knife and fork or stuff it inside a tortilla. Enjoy the flavorful combination of high protein and high fiber!
