Instructions
- In a medium pot, bring chicken broth to a boil and add quinoa; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until fluffy.
- While quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, cooking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add broccoli, bell pepper, and corn to the skillet with the chicken, and sauté for an additional 5 minutes until veggies are tender.
- Once quinoa is ready, fluff with a fork and divide evenly among meal prep containers.
- Top each container with the chicken and vegetable mixture, and garnish with fresh parsley before sealing.
