Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Marinate the chicken breast in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Grilling and Roasting

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear.

  2. 4

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop the bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Add halved cherry tomatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, layer the cooked quinoa, sliced grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and sprinkle with feta cheese. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
