Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 head broccoli florets
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 5 oz spinach or baby greens
  • 1-2 ripe avocados
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes.

  4. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. While roasting, cook quinoa in a pot with 2 cups of water or broth; bring to a boil then simmer covered until liquid is absorbed (approximately 15 minutes).
  6. Sauté broccoli in remaining olive oil over medium heat until bright green (about 5 minutes).
  7. Assemble bowls starting with quinoa as the base; top with roasted sweet potatoes, avocado slices, sautéed broccoli, cherry tomatoes, fresh greens, and sliced chicken.
