Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups dry quinoa
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp ancho chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil (plus extra for salsa)
  • 1 2/3 cups frozen corn, warmed (optional)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained (optional)
  • Mexican blend cheese or queso fresco (optional)
  • Plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream (optional)
  • 3 medium roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 1/2 medium avocados, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion, rinsed
  • 1 jalapeño, minced (seeded for less heat if desired)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for another 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill to high heat (425°F). In a small bowl, mix ancho chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Flatten chicken breasts using a meat mallet. Brush with olive oil and season both sides with the spice mixture. Grill for about 4 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. For the avocado salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, avocados, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
  4. To assemble bowls: Divide quinoa among serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken, corn, black beans, cheese (if using), avocado salsa, and Greek yogurt or sour cream.
