Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 apple, diced
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
4. In the meantime, rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to make the dressing.
6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced apple, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and the dressing. Toss everything together until well coated.
7. Remove the chicken from
