Peppers, bell, green, raw128.8 g
Spinach, raw85.9 g
Yogurt, plain, low-fat (added as marinade/sauce)105.9 g

Instructions

1

Prepare the marinade by whisking together half of the yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Cut the chicken breast into 1.5-inch chunks and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Thread the chicken and chopped green bell peppers onto skewers.

3

Heat a heavy-bottomed grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with a tiny amount of olive oil.

4

Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is lightly charred and cooked through (internal temp 165 F).

5

While the chicken cooks, sauté the spinach in a pan with a splash of water until just wilted. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and season with lemon zest.

6

To plate, spread the remaining yogurt on the base of the dish. Arrange the quinoa and wilted spinach alongside. Place the warm skewers over the top. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dusting of sumac if available.
