0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp turmeric

PREPARATION

• 1

  Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.

• 2

  Place the dry quinoa in a small pot over medium heat and toast for 2 minutes until it smells nutty and begins to pop.

• 3

  Add 0.5 cup of water to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

• 4

  While quinoa cooks, season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and turmeric.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

• 6

  Steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket for 4 to 5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

• 7

  Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer it to a serving bowl.

• 8

  Slice the chicken into strips and place over the quinoa along with the steamed broccoli and sliced avocado.

• 9

  Finish the bowl with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
