Ingredients

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups chicken breast, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

Start by cooking the quinoa: In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and bell peppers. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until veggies are tender yet crisp.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and toss everything together gently.

Drizzle lime juice over the mixture and give it another gentle toss.

To serve, divide the quinoa and chicken mixture into meal prep containers. Top each bowl with sliced avocado and sprinkle with fresh cilantro for garnish.
