Preparation
Cook the quinoa
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Using a strainer, rinse the quinoa.
- In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 16 to 18 min., until tender. Fluff the quinoa.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve the Brussels sprouts lengthwise (quarter if large).
- Mince the garlic.
- Roughly chop the olives.
Roast the Brussels sprouts
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 12 to 14 min., until golden brown and tender.
Start the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken and cook, partially covered, 3 to 4 min. per side, until partially cooked.
- Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Make the sauce & finish the chicken
- In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the demi-glace, tomatoes, cream, olives and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, stirring occasionally, scraping up any browned bits, 30 sec. to 1 min., until beginning to simmer.
- Return the chicken* and cook, 2 to 3 min., until cooked through.
Plate your dish
- Divide the quinoa between your plates.
- Top with the Brussels sprouts, chicken and sauce. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
