Ingredients

• 2 cups quinoa, rinsed
• 1 lb chicken breast, diced
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 4 cups spinach
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

1. In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
2. While the quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix well to combine.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, add it to the quinoa mixture and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
5. To assemble your meal prep containers, start with a layer of spinach at the bottom of each container, followed by the quinoa and chicken mixture. Top with sliced avocado.
6. Seal the containers and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
