Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil and add the quinoa. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
  3. While the quinoa cooks, season the chicken breasts with paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  6. Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and divide it into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
