Step 1
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.

While quinoa is cooking, cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Marinate with sumac, ginger, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Step 4
Add marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked.
Step 5
Once quinoa is cooked, fluff with a fork and add to the skillet with the chicken. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Step 6
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
