Chicken Meatballs And Vegetable Quinoa Bowls

• 1 pound ground chicken breast
• 1 large egg lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs fresh
• 1 clove garlic peeled and minced
• 2/3 cup quinoa rinsed
• 1 lemon plus more wedges to serve
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley chopped
• 1/2 red pepper small, finely chopped
• 1/2 small carrot grated
• 1 mini cucumber peeled, deseeded, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt to serve
• mixed greens to serve

1. Combine the chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, and garlic in a large bowl, mixing well. Using your hands, roll into 24 meatballs. Place the meatballs on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20 mins.
2. Meanwhile, rinse and drain the quinoa, then place in a saucepan and cover with 1 1/4 cup water. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 mins, until the water has absorbed. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and zest, oil, parsley, pepper, carrot and cucumber. Stir to combine and season.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium. Spray the meatballs with oil, then cook, in batches, for 4-5 mins, until brown and cooked through. Add to the quinoa and stir to combine.
4. Spoon into serving bowls. Serve with yogurt, lemon wedges, and mixed greens.
