Perfect Summer Throw Together

Life is usually a little bit easier when I cook for the week. So today I created this throw together and it's totally yummy!

Ingredients You Will Need:

• 4 to 5 bell peppers (any color)  
• 3/4 cup Quinoa 
• 1 can of low sodium chickpeas 
• 3 chicken breasts 

Dressing: 

• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
• 3 tablespoons mayo
• 2 teaspoons sugar 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 chopped or grated clove garlic (optional)   

How To: 

• Cook everything! 
• Roast the peppers
• Grill/Bake the chicken (I put some olive oil, salt, pepper on them before grilling)  
• Stick that quinoa in a rice cooker or pot 
• Mix all together in a bowl w/ the chickpeas (drain the juices) 

Dressing: 

• Put all the ingredients together in a container you can seal (ideally a twist top Tupperware) 
• SHAKE! 
• The ingredients will emulsify 
• Add dressing to the ingredients in the bowl and mix!  

See? Super simple! 1 cup of this is the perfect combo of grains, protein, veggies! I'm considering adding some roasted broccoli to up the veggie count. You could easily adjust this recipe to add tons of different vegetables! 

Enjoy!
