Fennel chickpea fonio salad {with tangerine fennel bulb chicken}

Fonio is the word y’all!! I mean this delicious little grain isn’t only amazingly tasty, but is also very nutritious and could help turn on your genetics by effecting your epigenetics👍🏼. Not only that but you got high vitamins and antioxidants from the tangerine, and the amazing chickpeas packed with manganese, folate (epigenetic effects), copper, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, thiamine, vitamin B6, selenium, and potassium. If that’s not enough reasons to make this bowl then I don’t know what is 😆. Oh and don’t forgot my friend chicken, rich in niacin, selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, riboflavin, zinc, thiamine, potassium, and copper. All that topped with epigenetic boosting broccoli sprouts. Yay!!

This salad is hard to beat, with the power house ingredients and punches of flavor this is a gotta make salad!!

The “How to”:

1. First your going to make the chicken by sautéing fennel bulb, sweet peppers, onion, garlic, 1/2 tangerine in a bit of olive oil. Now add your chicken and cook throughly.
2. While the chicken is cooking make the fonio: on high heat place 1/2 cup fonio and tablespoon of oil in pan, add 1 cup water and boil for one minute then lower heat to 2 for 5 minutes, turn off heat and let sit then fluff with fork.
3. Now mix together fonio, drained chickpeas, and purple kale. In a shakeable jar, add tangerine juice, oil, salt, garlic, pepper, and fermented honey and shake until homogeneous. Pour over greens.
4. Place salad on bottom, then place chicken on top. Top with broccoli sprouts, a sliced orange, and maybe some goat cheese if your feeling a bit cheesy 😁. Enjoy!!!
