Tender chicken, quinoa, white beans, courgettes and spinach baked together in one dish, then topped with bubbling, golden cheddar. It's an easy, comforting dinner with almost no hands-on time. Lean chicken and beans give plenty of protein to keep you full, and the quinoa, beans and vegetables add fibre.
