If fish doesn't float your boat, consider grilled chicken breast and quinoa. Quinoa is hearty, and contains more protein than most other grains. It's also rife with fiber, a necessary nutrient for long-term health support.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, cooked
  • 2 cup chicken bone broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 whole onion, finely diced
  • 2 piece chicken breast
