Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken: Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook quinoa: Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups of broth or water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed (about 15 minutes). Fluff with a fork.
  3. Grill chicken: Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let rest before slicing.
  4. Assemble bowls: Divide quinoa among serving bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, herbs, and avocado.
  5. Drizzle dressing: Combine remaining olive oil and lemon juice with Dijon mustard in a small bowl; drizzle over assembled bowls.
