Cook quinoa- cook quinoa according to package directions. Allow to cool.

  • Cook chicken- Heat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Transfer to a baking dish, season with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part. Once chicken has rested for at least 10 minutes, slice it against the grain.
