Romaine Lettuce
Tomatoes, Red, Ripe
Red Onion
Olive Oil
Paprika
1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 C (390 F).

2. Coat the chicken in 1 tsp of olive oil and the paprika. Wrap the chicken in foil and place in the oven for 35 minutes.

3. Prepare the quinoa by rinsing in a fine sieve for 30 seconds. In a small pot, bring a cup of lightly salted water to boil. Add 1/2 cup of quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and set aside for a few minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork to separate the grain.

4. Meanwhile, make the salad by adding the lettuce, tomato and red onion into a bowl.

5. Combine the quinoa with the salad and slice the chicken and add on top of the salad.
