Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 cup uncooked Quinoa
  • 1 head Broccoli Florets
  • 1 medium Red Onion
  • 1–2 ripe Avocado
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
  • 5 oz container Spinach or Baby Greens
  • 3–4 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup or Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • Optional: Sesame seeds, Chopped cilantro, Red pepper flakes, Hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. Combine it with 2 cups of water in a saucepan, bring it to boil over medium heat, then reduce to low heat and cover. Let it simmer until all water is absorbed—about 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop your sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes along with broccoli florets. Toss them onto a baking sheet with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast at high heat until tender and caramelized.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil and cook seasoned chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C); let them rest before slicing.
  4. In bowls or meal prep containers, layer your cooked quinoa as the base. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and baby greens.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup/honey along with salt & pepper. Drizzle over each assembled bowl just before serving.
