Ingredients
- For the Quinoa:
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Vegetables:
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup bell peppers (any color), chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- For the Ginger-Soy Vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
- Cook the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve. In a saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Roast the Vegetables: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the broccoli and bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until1 tender-crisp.
- Make the Ginger-Soy Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, honey, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa among bowls. Top with grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and red onion. Drizzle generously with the Ginger-Soy Vinaigrette.

- You can use any type of protein you like for this recipe, such as grilled fish, tofu, or chickpeas.
