Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 450 g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub with olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss broccoli, bell pepper, and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking tray for 15–20 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, water, and salt until smooth.
  6. Assemble bowls by dividing quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with sliced chicken, roasted vegetables, chickpeas, avocado, and cherry tomatoes.
  7. Drizzle with tahini-yogurt dressing and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Chill the dressing for 10 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.
  • Roast extra vegetables for use in other meals throughout the week.
  • For vegetarian option, replace chicken with tofu or tempeh.
  • Customize with your favorite grains, proteins, or seasonal veggies.
