Healthy Mediterranean Chicken & Quinoa Power Bowls

Ingredients

• 12 oz Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Ground coriander
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp Onion powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.125 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Dry quinoa
• 1 cup Water or low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 Red bell pepper
• 0.25 small Red onion
• 2 cups Fresh spinach or mixed greens
• 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill
• 1 tbsp Light feta cheese
• 1 Garlic clove
• 0.125 tsp Salt (for dressing)
• 1 pinch Black pepper (for dressing)

Instructions

1. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water or low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
2. While the quinoa cooks, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, finely chopped fresh dill, crumbled light feta, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned on all sides.
5. To assemble the bowls, divide the fresh spinach or mixed greens between two serving bowls. Top each with half of the cooked quinoa, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, and thinly sliced red onion.
6. Place half of the cooked chicken on top of each bowl. Drizzle generously with the prepared Zesty Feta-Dill Dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
