Spicy Chicken Quinoa Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 1 lb)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1. 1Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain.
2. 2In 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. 3While the quinoa cooks, season the chicken breasts with paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. 4In 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. 5Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
6. 6Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and divide it into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
7. 7Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
