Herb-Marinated Chicken and Quinoa Bowl with Fresh Vegetables
Savor a wholesome bowl featuring tender herb-marinated chicken paired with fluffy quinoa and a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables. This dish boasts a bright, zesty marinade that elevates the succulent chicken, perfectly complemented by the crunch of crisp cucumbers, the burst of cherry tomatoes, and nutrient-packed baby spinach. A drizzle of olive oil ties the flavors together for a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 cup Diced Cucumber
1.5 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Herbs and Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, and your choice of fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, and thyme) to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and coat with the herb marinade. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for approximately 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Allow the chicken to rest briefly, then slice it into strips.
Wash and dice the cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and cucumber. Combine these fresh vegetables in a bowl.
Assemble the bowl by layering the cooked quinoa, fresh vegetables, and sliced herb-marinated chicken. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top if desired.
Enjoy this vibrant and balanced bowl either warm or at room temperature.
