Preparation

STEP 1 OF 4
Rinse the quinoa under running water to remove the bitter taste due to the saponin on its surface.
STEP 2 OF 4
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil with a pinch of salt in a pot. Add the quinoa, cover, and cook on very low heat for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
STEP 3 OF 4
Cut the zucchini into julienne strips and sauté them in a pan with extra virgin olive oil, ground ginger, and dried basil. Cook the diced chicken in the same pan.
STEP 4 OF 4
Combine the cooked quinoa with the zucchini and chicken in a large bowl. Mix well and serve hot.
