Chicken with Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Quinoa

Simple. Simple. Simple. It's all a college student can ask for from a meal and that is exactly what this meal is. I just took a bunch of stuff I had in my fridge and put it all together, voilá instant meal!

Ingredients

• Two 4 oz. chicken breasts

• 1 Egg

• Bread crumbs (I used Panko)

• Bundle of Brussel sprouts

• Salt & pepper (To taste)

• Cherry tomatoes

• Cooked quinoa 

• Mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 Avocado

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F. Rinse your brussel sprouts and chop off ends. Peel off dirty layers and cut in half or in quarters. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and place all brussel sprouts on the sheet. Drizzle or spray olive oil over top and sprinkle on salt & pepper. Cook in oven for about 20 minutes. 

Step 2: If you don't have cooked quinoa on-hand, follow the instructions on the bag. Clean up chicken breasts and then coat in egg then breadcrumb mixture and into a pan with olive oil. Cook until browned then sprinkle some cheese over top and put a lid over the pan to melt the cheese. 

Step 3: Plate your chicken, quinoa and brussel sprouts on plate. I chose to have add my 1/2 of avocado because it was on its way out and cherry tomatoes for more color on the plate.

This meal filled me right up and all the tastes and textures were delish! You all should know by now that I need my cheese fix so the little drizzle of cheese atop my chicken was perfecto!! My brussel sprouts were so good too, for those of you who are skeptical about them or any veggie really, you should really try roasting. I do it to broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, carrots and a lot of other veggies as well. That crunchy outside with some sprinkled spices...amazing! Just some ideas for dinner or even a lunch option!

ENJOY!!
