Grilled Chicken - Quinoa & Veggies

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups water or chicken broth
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let stand.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Grill the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and sliced chicken. Toss gently to combine.
5. Serve: Divide the mixture into bowls and top with avocado slices and fresh parsley. Drizzle with additional olive oil and lemon juice if desired.
