Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the saffron with 2 tablespoons of warm water and let it steep for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, tamarind paste, saffron water, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the quinoa, and cook for 15 minutes or until fluffy.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 10 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.

Step 5

Chop the apricots and cilantro. Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in the apricots and cilantro.

Step 6

Serve the chicken on a bed of apricot cilantro quinoa, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
