🍽️ How to Make It
1️⃣ Cook the Quinoa
Bring water or broth to a boil. Add quinoa and salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Allow to cool slightly.
2️⃣ Season & Grill the Chicken
Rub chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
3️⃣ Prep the Fresh Toppings
Slice avocado, halve cherry tomatoes, and slice cucumber. Wash and dry greens.
4️⃣ Make the Lemon Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined and lightly emulsified.
5️⃣ Assemble the Power Bowl
Divide quinoa between bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and greens. Drizzle with lemon dressing just before serving.
