Instructions

    1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    2. Cook the grains: Rinse jasmine rice and red quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice and 2 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. In another pot, combine 1/2 cup of red quinoa and 1 cup of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until cooked.
