Water Seared Chicken

This post is actually long overdue. I uploaded the pictures a million years ago, but did not get to actually write the post till now. It is not a recipe per se, it is more of a method that I came up with to cook chicken, or any meat for that matter, without using fat. …

Quinoa with Chicken, Almonds, and Squash
