Method
Preparation
Cook the Grains
In a medium pot, combine quinoa and brown rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until grains are tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.
Prepare the Greens
In a large pan, sauté spinach and kale in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the Protein
If using grilled chicken, slice it into strips. If using chickpeas, rinse and drain them before adding to the bowl.
Assembly
Build Your Bowl
In a large serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, brown rice, sautéed greens, and your choice of protein (chicken or chickpeas). Top with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
Dress the Bowl
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
