Ingredients
- 2 cups of Kale
- 2 chicken breasts
- ½ cup Quinoa
- 1 cup water
- Seasoning: salt, peper, rosemary

- Chop and rinse the kale leaves.
- Spread on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt & pepper.
- Place kale in the oven for 8-10 mins, or until crispy.
- Bring a pan with olive oil to medium/high heat. Once warm, add rosemary and pepper to toast for 1-2 minutes.
- Next, season each chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides and place in the pan to sear.
- Once seared on both sides and cooked through, add balsamic vinegar and simmer for 30 more seconds.
- Take kale out of the oven, and if you chose sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor and extra protein.
- Finally, put the components together! Add your cooked quinoa, crispy kale, and rosemary-balsamic chicken to the same plate and dig in!
