Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- In the same skillet (or a separate pan), steam or sauté the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa/rice among bowls. Top with the cooked chicken, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, corn, and red onion.
- Garnish with feta cheese (if using) and fresh cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables! Bell peppers, snap peas, and avocado would all be great additions.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a little olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before cooking.
- You can also add a drizzle of your favorite dressing, such as a light vinaigrette or a creamy avocado dressing.
- If you don’t have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with a sprinkle of dried cilantro or parsley.
