2 pots Continental Stock Pot Sensations Chicken Stock Pot
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, crushed
700 g chicken tenderloins
3 cups (750 mL) boiling water
2 cups tricolour quinoa blend
200 g punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
120 g packet baby spinach leaves
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
1 lemon, zest finely grated and juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil

Combine 1 stockpot and1/2 cup hot water, oregano and garlic in a heatproof bowl. Stir until stock pot dissolves. Set side for 5 mins to cool slightly. Add chicken, toss to coat. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator to marinate, for a least 30 minutes.
Place boiling water and remaining stock pot in a saucepan. Stir until stockpots dissolved. Stir in quinoa. Bring to the boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool slightly. Add tomatoes, spinach, feta, lemon zest and lemon juice, toss to combine.
Meanwhile heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Drain chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Cook chicken, in batches, for 2-3 minutes each side until golden brown and cooked through. Divide quinoa salad among bowls. Top with chicken and pepitas.
