Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa
• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Cucumber, diced
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup Balsamic vinaigrette

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then combine it with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.

Step 2

While the quinoa cooks, prepare the chicken breast. Rub the chicken with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 4

In a large salad bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, and baby spinach.

Step 5

Divide the cooked quinoa evenly among four bowls. Arrange the spinach mixture over the quinoa, then add sliced chicken, avocado slices, and crumbled feta cheese to each bowl.

Step 6

Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette over each bowl just before serving. Toss gently and serve immediately for a fresh and nutritious meal.
