Quinoa, the king of carbs, is a great alternative to typical grains like wheat, oats, and barley. What sets quinoa apart is its amino acid profile, which yields a whopping 24g of complete protein per cup. Quinoa also contains high levels of heart-healthy essential fatty acids, such as ALA and oleic acid. Plus, its high fiber content (12g per cup) makes it a low glycemic-index source of energy—perfect for fueling longer workouts.

Directions: 

Place all dressing ingredients in a blender and puree.

Cook quinoa according to package directions, then drain and cool.

Slice chicken breast along its length to get a butterflied joint. Season with salt and pepper and cook in an oiled pan over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side.

Remove from heat and shred chicken.

In a large bowl, mix dressing with cooked quinoa. Toss vegetables and fruits together and mix; then crumble in feta. 

To serve, divide among four plates and top with shredded chicken.
