Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons prepared pesto
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 zucchini, cut into spears

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (see note)
  • 10 basil leaves, chopped

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Direction

Pan Bagnat (Niçoise Salad Sandwich)
