Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Salad (21 Day Fix Approved)





I am seriously always searching for new lunch and dinner ideas.  I get so tired of eating the same things.  Especially for lunch... salad after salad.  Time for something new and exciting.  I also LOVE LOVE LOVE buffalo chicken and blue cheese. 


I grilled my chicken outside when I was prepping for the week.  You could cut it into pieces and cook it on the stove or in the oven.  However you prefer to have your chicken cooked!  


I made two lunches with this recipe. 


Ingredients 

Chicken
Cabbage Coleslaw mix (1 green container) 
Broccoli (1 green container)
Quinoa 
Hot Sauce
Blue Cheese 

Directions: 


Cook your chicken - I grilled mine, but you could make it on the stove or in the oven.


Cook quinoa according to directions.  I cooked 1 cup of dry quinoa and had a lot left over when I measured using my yellow container (21 Day fix friends)


Steam your broccoli


Heat up coconut oil (or whatever oil you like to cook with) in a large pan.  Add your cooked broccoli and cabbage coleslaw mix to the pan with hot sauce.  You can decide how much hot sauce you would like based on your preference.  Let this cook together for a few minutes. 


Portion your food - one yellow container of quinoa, 1 green container of broccoli and slaw mix, then I cut up chicken and filled my red container and added it, lastly I filled a blue container with blue cheese and topped it with a little extra hot sauce. I prefer spicy. 


I let it cool in the Tupperware container for a while before storing in the refrigerator for lunch.


I heated it in the microwave for about 2.5 minutes stirring occasionally.  


This was very filling and tasted excellent! I highly recommend this recipe!
