Grilled Chicken with Quinoa & Veggies

Grilled Chicken with Quinoa & Veggies

Ingredients:

• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (or thigh for more flavor)
• 1/2 cup quinoa (uncooked)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  Mix 1/2 cup each of chopped red yellow and green bell peppers for your preparation.
• 1/2 cup chopped zucchini
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  Use 1/4 cup of thin red onion slices
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
• Lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions:

1. Wash the quinoa by stirring it with cold water. Combine one cup water or chicken broth in a medium pot and heat it to boiling. Heat the covered pot over low setting after you join the quinoa and let it cook for 15 minutes while the water absorbs into the grains until they feel tender. Fluff with a fork.
2. While waiting for the quinoa, season chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper before cooking. Drip olive oil onto the chicken pieces then spread the seasoning blend through the meat.
3. Heat the grill to medium-high temperature before placing the chicken onto its surface. Cook the chicken on a grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until it registers at 165°F (75°C) internal temperature.
4. Cook the pan over medium heat with olive oil before preparing vegetables for the dish. Saute bell peppers and zucchini with onions and cherry tomatoes until they stay crunchy with soft texture in 5 to 7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Place quinoa on your plate and spread sautéed vegetables over it before adding fully-cooked chicken. Complete your dish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs followed by a lemon zest.

The prepared dish works well as an after-workout meal plus provides an ideal nutrition balance for lunch or dinner. You can choose from turkey salmon or tofu as alternatives to chicken depending on your preference.
