This is a simple and delicious recipe, that I adapted to make GF from the Hairy Bikers Diet cook book. Not only is this recipe GF it is also less than 300 calories per portion.

Ingredients (4 People)

Chicken

• 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 tsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp harissa paste
• Lemon wedges
• 2 Cups of spinach

Quinoa Salad

• 100g Quinoa
• 100g Halved Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 small bell pepper chopped into small chunks
• Garlic Clove Crushed
• 1/2 Lemon- Zest & Juice

Instructions

1. Make salad- cook the quinoa (How to cook Quinoa- Link)
2. Tip the cooked quinoa into a large serving bowl and add the tomatoes, pepper, garlic, lemon zest and juice.
3. Season and toss the salad with freshly ground black pepper.
4. Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of cling film and beat with a rolling pin, until they are 1 1/2 cm thick.
5. Brush a griddle or frying pan with a little oil and place over a medium heat until hot- griddle the chick breasts for 2 minutes per side.
6. Brush one side of the chicken breasts with 1/2  the harissa, then cook for a minute whilst brushing the other side of the chicken with the other 1/2 of the harissa.  Flip over each minute until the chicken is cooked all the way through (when there is no pinkness remaining).
7. Transfer the chicken to a board and leave to rest for a couple of minutes.
8. In the hot pan, whit the spinach by lightly sprinkling water over the spinach.
9. Combine the spinach with the salad and chicken – Enjoy 🙂
