Chili-Lime Chicken with Herby Quinoa and Charred Vegetables
This dish hits all the right notes: smoky, citrusy chicken thighs with a good kick of heat, a fragrant quinoa that soaks up every drip of the pan juices, and vegetables that go properly dark and sweet on a hot cast-iron pan. The lime does a lot of the heavy lifting here, so use fresh. Quinoa is a great base for this because it holds its own against bold flavours without going soggy. The whole thing comes together faster than you'd think, and it photographs beautifully.
