4 large eggs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine diced chicken breast, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add rinsed quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until fluffy.
In a separate skillet, sauté broccoli and bell peppers in a little olive oil over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until tender.
In another pan, scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then set aside.
Once the chicken is done, assemble your meal prep containers with quinoa, roasted chicken, sautéed vegetables, black beans, and scrambled eggs.
Top with avocado slices, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
