Breaded Chicken Fillet With Quinoa Spinach

Hello,

Don't throw out the leftover meals, simply turn last night's dinner into an entirely new dish with all the ingredients you have in the fridge.

I had lots of spinach, green peas, bell peppers and quinoa left from the week and decided to mix them all together to make a quinoa spinach with a chicken fillet.

I am sure you will agree that leftover meals are the best to have the next day and always taste better too.

avocado

bell peppers

breaded chicken fillet
