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
  • 1–2 ripe avocados
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 5 oz baby spinach or greens
  • 3–4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop sweet potatoes, broccoli, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
  2. Rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine with 2 cups of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and cover until fluffy—about 15 minutes.
  3. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
  4. Assemble bowls starting with quinoa as the base followed by roasted veggies, sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and spinach.
  5. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together dressing ingredients: olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup/honey, salt & pepper. Drizzle over assembled bowls.
