We’ve chosen this enticing chicken and quinoa stir fry as our third winner of the lose baby weight recipe competition – Katie Vulling @katieisablev, as not only is it a delicious, low fat option for dinner, it is also jammed full of the essentials for trying to lose weight – a double hit of protein in both the chicken and the grains, and a great serving of fibre – all essential when trying to drop the kilos, and ideal to fit in with any of our lose baby weight plans.
A longtime secret of the ancient incas, quinoa is a powerhouse of nutrition, and is a superb alternative to rice or pasta. It’s an incredible source of protein, iron and vitamin B. So not only will the protein help fight hunger long after meal times, but the vitamins and minerals will feed your brain at the same time!
A light stir fry such as this is a really flexible option that allows you to chuck in whichever fresh, seasonal vegetables you can get your hands on. Cook off your chicken in your favourite flavours – soy sauce and honey is a great combo. Add some finely sliced chilli and ginger if you want a bit of extra zing (they’re also perfect for fighting colds at this time of year).
To cook the quinoa, make sure you rinse it well first, otherwise it can end up with a slightly bitter flavour. Then simply cook it the same way you cook your rice. You can serve it hot or cold, or simply toss it in the pan with the other stir fry ingredients and it’s good to go.
