Instructions
-
Preparing the Chicken
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix honey, garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Cook the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
Preparing the Quinoa Salad
- Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
- Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and parsley.
- Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss to combine.

Serving
