Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s where we get to the fun part. Gather the following ingredients like you’re about to throw the most epic dinner party of your life (or just impress yourself on a Wednesday):

150 g quinoa (yes, this trendy grain that everyone raves about)
2 filets de poulet panés (filetes de pollo empanados—in English, that’s breaded chicken fillets)
1 aguacate maduro (you know, the perfect, creamy avocado that just begs to be eaten)
1 pimiento rojo (the red bell pepper that brings that pop of color and crunch)

Now, let’s get cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to make magic happen in the kitchen? Follow these simple steps. You got this:

Cocina la quinoa según las instrucciones del paquete. Déjala enfriar. (Pro tip: This is where you put on a Netflix episode while waiting).
Mientras tanto, cocina los filetes de pollo empanados hasta que estén dorados y crujientes. Luego, córtalos en tiras. (The crispy chicken is basically the star of this salad).
Corta el aguacate en cubos y el pimiento rojo en tiras finas. (Feel free to channel your inner chef while cutting—I believe in you).
En un bol grande, mezcla la quinoa, el aguacate y el pimiento. (Use a bowl bigger than your dreams, trust me).
Coloca las tiras de pollo crujiente encima como toque final. (And don’t forget to make it look pretty for Instagram).
Sirve con tu aderezo favorito. ¡Y a disfrutar! (Don’t skip this step—it’s where the real flavor kicks in).

Now savor that delicious creation you just made.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Listen up, rookie chefs. Here are some classic blunders to steer clear of while making this salad:

Thinking you don’t need to preheat the oven: Rookie mistake. If your chicken isn’t cooked through, we’re not getting that crispy goodness we crave.
Skipping the cooling of quinoa: Nobody wants a salad served warm unless it’s a bowl of soup. Chill out, literally.
Not chopping correctly: Popping those veggies in whole isn’t a good idea unless you want to do some funky gymnastics to eat your salad.
Ignoring portion sizes: Feeling like a superhero and dumping a ton of chicken on there? That’s cool, just remember this is a salad, not a chicken mountain.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Wanna switch things up or work with what you got? No problem! Here are some cool tweaks you can make:

Quinoa: Brown rice or couscous will also do the trick. Just play around with the flavors you love.
Chicken: You could totally turn this into a vegetarian delight with chickpeas or roasted tofu. Don’t be afraid to throw in some grilled shrimp if you want to go fancy.
Avocado: No ripe avocado? No worries! Go ahead and use some creamy feta cheese instead.
Red pepper: Grab whatever bell pepper is lying around. Green, yellow, or even those mini sweet peppers are fine.

Just make it yours and have fun!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
