Chicken Spinach Quinoa with a Yogurt Cream Sauce

Great post workout protein packed dish :)

Prep half a cup of red quinoa by rinsing it thoroughly.  Add 1/2 cup of quinoa to 1 cup of salted water in a saucepan  and bring to a rapid boil.  Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cover until all of the liquid has evaporated away.  (Don't use a spoon if you need to stir)

Saute 4 chicken tenders spiced with italian/greek seasonings (dried oregano, thyme, parsley, rosemary, basil, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice)   Once the chicken is cooked through, add a handful or two of baby spinach (garlic could work well with this too) .  Then add some water and lemon juice and cover the pan if you can to cook the spinach down and not lose much liquid.  Once the spinach has reduced down, remove the chicken and spinach and add to the quinoa.  

Next we can make a sauce the leftover juice in the pan, or you can skip this and top the dish with fresh yogurt.  To make the sauce, let the pan cool down then just add a tablespoon of yogurt and stir until the sauce is uniform and thick.  Add a little more lemon, salt, thyme, garlic powder (if you didn't add garlic before).
