Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa about 1 cup dry
  • 2 chicken breasts grilled or baked, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt & pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
  • feta cheese optional
  • fresh parsley optional
  • chili flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Rinse quinoa and cook according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill or bake until cooked through, then slice thinly.
  3. Assemble bowls: start with quinoa, layer chicken, veggies, and avocado.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Top with feta or parsley if desired.

Notes

Boost protein with chickpeas or an extra chicken breast. Lower carbs by swapping half the quinoa with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles. Meal prep friendly—store in fridge up to 4 days.
