Ingredients
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain.
- 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.
- While the quinoa cooks, season the chicken breasts with paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and divide it into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
