How to Make Quinoa Pesto Feta And Chicken Stack

Cook quinoa according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
While quinoa cooks, cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes), season with salt and pepper.
In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color) and sauté for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in 1/4 cup pesto and combine with the cooked bell peppers.
Layer the cooked quinoa in a bowl or on plates. Top with the sautéed chicken, pepper and pesto mixture, and crumble 1/4 cup feta cheese over the top.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
