Ingredients
Scale
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water or vegetable broth
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 grilled chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
3 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional herbs (oregano or thyme)
Instructions
Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine with water or broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and herbs. Coat chicken breasts in the mixture and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat your grill to medium-high. Soak wooden skewers in water if using.
Toss bell peppers, zucchini, onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes in olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until tender and charred.
Place marinated chicken on the grill; cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Layer quinoa in bowls or plates, top with grilled vegetables and sliced chicken. Drizzle with additional olive oil or dressing before serving.
