Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by ensuring your chicken breast is grilled to perfection, with a slight char for added flavor. Slice the chicken into strips against the grain to maintain tenderness.
2. 2.
   Prepare your quinoa according to package instructions, using a 2:1 ratio of water to quinoa. Once cooked, use a fork to fluff the grains, ensuring they are light and separated.
3. 3.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add in the diced red bell pepper and edamame beans. Sauté them in the skillet, stirring occasionally until the bell pepper softens slightly and the edamame is heated through, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. 4.
   Incorporate the cooked quinoa into the skillet with the vegetables. Drizzle the soy sauce over the mixture, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes to ensure the sauce coats everything evenly. The quinoa should absorb the soy sauce, enhancing its flavor.
5. 5.
   Add the sliced grilled chicken to the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to warm fully and the flavors to meld. Serve immediately, ensuring each bite includes a bit of every element for the full flavor experience. Adjust seasonings as desired.
