Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

  2. 2

    Cook the Quinoa

    In a saucepan, combine quinoa and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, serve a grilled chicken breast alongside a scoop of quinoa and a portion of sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with additional lemon juice if desired.
