Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- 1 cup spinach or mixed greens
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. Rinse quinoa under cold water and combine with vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; cook for about 6–7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
3. Whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
4. Slice cooked chicken and layer quinoa in bowls topped with chicken, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, spinach, and drizzle with dressing.
Notes
To save time, cook quinoa and chicken in advance for easy meal assembly.
Swap in rotisserie chicken for a shortcut or use tofu for a vegetarian version.
Customize your bowl with other toppings like avocado, shredded carrots, or sunflower seeds.
Dressing can be made in bulk and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
