Ingredients
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup steamed broccoli florets
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the spice mixture.
Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In meal prep containers, divide the cooked quinoa evenly among them as the base.
Top the quinoa with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, steamed broccoli, black beans, and avocado.
Drizzle lime juice over the bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro.
If desired, add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for extra creaminess.
Cover the containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
