Prep: Cook: 4 servingsAmerican
Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 bell pepper, diced
1 avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken is baking, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking the quinoa, add the broccoli florets to steam on top.
Once everything is cooked, assemble the bowls by dividing quinoa, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, and sliced avocado evenly among meal prep containers.
Top with sliced chicken and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
