Grilled Chicken Protein Bowl

Char-grilled chicken, fluffy quinoa and crisp vegetables in one filling bowl that works for lunch, dinner or next-day leftovers.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb total)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cup water
  • 2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Steps

  1. Cook the quinoa: combine quinoa and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes, then rest 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.
  2. Meanwhile, rub the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
  3. Grill over medium-high heat 6-7 minutes per side, until the thickest part reads 165°F. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  4. Steam or roast the broccoli until just tender, about 5 minutes steamed or 12 minutes at 425°F.
  5. Build each bowl with quinoa, sliced chicken, broccoli, bell pepper and cherry tomatoes.
  6. Whisk the Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt, and drizzle over the bowls.
Serve with: a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of yogurt dressing on the side.

Slice the chicken against the grain for the most tender bite, and keep the yogurt sauce on the side if you are packing bowls for later.
