This recipe can be made into a dinner or a quick throw together lunch especially if you have left overs!
The recipe here serves 4 or 5, but it is easy to do for a lunch if you have those one serve rice tubs.

4 chicken breasts ( or roast BBQ chook )
1 1/2 cups quinoa & brown rice
( or pre packaged quinoa & brown rice mix )
Spinach & rocket salad leaf mix

Italian dressing
Cook chicken on BBQ or grill until cooked through. Set aside. If using a roast BBQ chook, shred chicken into bite sized pieces.
Cook rice according to package directions or heat packaged rice through thoroughly.

* To make this a quick one serve only for lunch, I use the single serve packaged rice and left over chicken ( or cook up 2 small tenderloins )
