INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced Cucumber
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the marinade: in a bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, minced garlic, and your choice of chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
Place the chicken breast in the marinade and let it sit for at least 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, cook the quinoa according to package instructions, then fluff with a fork.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
Assemble the bowl by placing the cooked quinoa as the base, then add the fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices.
Top the bowl with the sliced herb-marinated chicken, drizzle a tiny bit more olive oil if desired, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
