This warm quinoa salad with chicken and courgette is comforting, filling and bursting with flavour. Fluffy quinoa, golden-grilled courgette and spicy chicken pieces with paprika powder come together with juicy cherry tomatoes and a fresh splash of lemon.

Phase 2 gives room for sensible carbohydrates, and quinoa is an excellent choice for this. It provides complete plant-based proteins and slow carbohydrates, whilst the chicken provides a solid dose of lean protein that feeds your muscles and keeps you satisfied for long. This way your protein diet stays balanced and warming, with enough energy for an active day.

Lovely with a spoonful of hummus or a dressing of yoghurt and fresh herbs. A handful of rocket stirred through makes this protein-rich salad even fresher and more complete.

Zo maak je het

  1. Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions and keep warm.
  2. Sprinkle the chicken chunks with paprika powder and fry them in half the oil until cooked through.
  3. Grill or fry the courgette slices in the rest of the oil until golden.
  4. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  5. Mix the warm quinoa with the chicken, courgette and tomatoes and season with lemon juice, pepper and salt.
  6. Spoon the warm salad into a bowl and serve.

Bewaren

Store the salad in a sealed container in the fridge for a maximum of 2 days. Serve lukewarm or cold, both work perfectly well, or reheat briefly in the pan if you prefer.

Variatietips

Try swapping the chicken for grilled prawns or tofu cubes for a different protein source. Roasted paprika or a pinch of cumin gives the salad a warm, smoky twist.
