Instructions
Prep Quinoa. Start by cooking your quinoa, if not using a rice cooker, add quinoa and water to a medium saucepan and bril to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes until tender and fluffy.
Marinade. Next, place your chicken into a large mixing bowl. Add mayo, garlic oil, lemon juice, and spices. Mix well, cover and set aside for 10 - 30 minutes. Preheat your broiler on high.
Prep hummus. Next we’re going to make our hummus. Thoroughly drain and rinse your garbanzo beans, then add them to a blender along with the tahini, oil, water, and spices. Blend on low, slowly increasing the speed until smooth. Taste and adjust for salt. Set aside.
Prep tzatziki. Start by peeling and grating your cucumber. Squeeze excess moisture out of the grated cucumber, then place in a small mixing bowl. Add mayo, garlic oil, lemon juice, salt, and minced dill. Mix well and set aside.
Cook. Place chicken on a baking dish, be sure not to crowd them so they brown properly. Broil on high on the second from top rack for 10 - 12 minutes, flipping once at the halfway point. While the chicken is cooking, quickly saute spinach and tomatoes in a skillet on the stove with oil, salt and pepper. Then add it to your quinoa.
Serve chicken atop a bed of hummus with a side of quinoa. Add crumbled feta if so desired. Last, but certainly not least, drizzle with tzatziki.
Enjoy!
Notes:
Make it Nightshade FREE: Just skip the paprika and tomatoes. ;)
Make it DAIRY FREE: Just omit the Feta cheese
REINTRODUCE: This hummus recipe is perfect for your galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) reintroduction since that is the only FODMAP in the recipe. Start with 1 tablespoon of Hummus on Day 1, if well tolerated, increase serving to 2 tablespoons on Day 3, and again to ¼ cup on Day 5.
