Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Drizzle a little oil over the Mediterranean vegetables and transfer to the oven to roast for 30-40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick, ovenproof frying pan over a medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2 minutes on each side. Pop in the oven with the vegetables for 7-10 minutes to finish cooking. Remove and set aside to rest.
- Put the quinoa in a serving bowl and stir through the cooked vegetables, most of the chopped basil and the remaining oil. Slice the chicken, then toss through the quinoa along with the toasted almonds. Season to taste, then serve topped with the parmesan shavings and remaining basil.
