- Heat olive oil in a large skillet, season chicken with salt and pepper, sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through, let rest before slicing.

Notes
Rinse quinoa well to remove bitterness. Let chicken rest after cooking to keep juices locked in. Feel free to experiment with different veggies for variety.
