Organic Power Chicken Bowl

Made my honey and I an Organic Power Chicken Bowl tonight loaded with chopped chicken, quinoa, kale, broccoli, carrots, black beans and tomatoes topped with fresh avocado! It was superb. Recipe:






Ingredients:
1 pkg of organic boneless chicken breasts
1 cup organic quinoa (dried)
1 pkg Organic broccoli
1-2 Organic carrots
1-2 cups of chopped/shredded kale
Garlic powder
Chicken seasoning
Paprika
Onion Powder 
Crushed red pepper
2 lemons 
1 can organic black beans (drained)
1 can tomatoes with diced chilies and peppers (drained)

Directions:
1. Cook chicken breasts (on grill or on skillet) and season with garlic powder & chicken seasoning

2. While the chicken is cooking make the quinoa according to the pkg's instructions. (I always have 1 cup cooked and stored in the fridge for whenever I need it)

3. While everything is cooking I use this time to wash and chop my broccoli, carrots & kale. 

4. Once the chicken is done, chop it up and toss it in a ziplock bag along with the paprika, onion powder, crushed red pepper and lemon juice. Seal the bag and use your magical fingers to get all the seasoning evenly throughout the chicken (this part was my baby's job lol)

5. While my boyfriend is massaging the chicken, lol, I throw in a little bit of olive oil into the same pan I cooked the chicken, and toss in the chopped up carrots and kale. I like the carrots to have a slight crisp so I keep stirring it all up for about 3-4 mins.

6. Once the quinoa is done, I add the black beans, canned tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, kale and chicken. Give it a few big stirs (my muscles were burning after this step), place lid on saucepan and let the flavors marry each other for about 3-5 mins. Add a few slices of avocado to each bowl you're serving.

Bon appetit! Xo
