Recipe: Chicken and quinoa

Ingredients
4 (4 oz. each) chicken breasts
4 tsp. hoisin sauce
1/2 cup quinoa (dry)
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1 shallot, diced
1/4 cup diced red, yellow or green peppers (I used frozen, which comes with all three.)
4 plums, diced
1/4 cup reduced-fat feta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray

Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place chicken breasts on pan and spread 1/2 teaspoon of hoisin sauce on each piece. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn chicken breasts and coat with 1/2 teaspoon of hoisin sauce. Bake for 15 more minutes. Turn chicken breasts again and bake until done (about 15 minutes, but it depends on how thick they are).

Meanwhile, prepare quinoa in a sauce pan according to the directions on the package. While the quinoa is simmering, add in diced jalapeno pepper, shallot and other peppers. Once the water has been absorbed, stir in the diced plums. After the mixture is slightly cool, stir in the feta cheese.

Makes 4 servings.
