Ingredients
- 225g Quinoa
- 25g Butter
- 1 chopped Red Chilli
- 1 clove finely chopped Garlic
- 400g Chicken Breast
- 2 tbs Olive Oil
- Handful Black Olives
- 1 chopped Red Onions
- 100g Feta
- Chopped Mint

Directions
- Cook the quinoa following the pack instructions, then rinse in cold water and drain thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, mix the butter, chilli and garlic into a paste. Toss the chicken fillets in 2 tsp of the olive oil with some seasoning. Lay in a hot griddle pan and cook for 3-4 mins each side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, dot with the spicy butter and set aside to melt.
