  • Remove and place on a paper towel to drain. Set aside. 
  • Add chicken into the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  • Season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. 
  • In the same skillet, add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add in the cooked quinoa, OR rice, fresh spinach, tomatoes, and bacon.
