INGREDIENTS

  • Grain base

    • 3 cups chicken broth
    • 1 ½ cups quinoa

  • Vegetables

    • 1 large sweet potato, diced
    • 1 large red onion, diced
    • 2 cups baby spinach
    • 🥑 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced

  • Seasonings

    • ¼ cup olive oil, divided
    • kosher salt to taste
    • freshly ground black pepper to taste
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

  • Proteins

    • 🍗 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • Dressing

    • ¼ cup lime juice
    • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 🍯 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
    • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

STEPS

1

Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

2

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

3

Spread sweet potato and red onion onto a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over mixture and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.

5

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir 2 cloves garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side. Let rest for a few minutes before cutting into 1-inch pieces.

6

Whisk 1 garlic clove, lime juice, peanut butter, soy sauce, and honey together in a bowl. Then whisk in 1 tablespoon olive oil and sesame oil until the mixture becomes smooth dressing.

7

Divide quinoa among bowls. Top with chicken, roasted sweet potato mixture, spinach, and avocado slices. Sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds, then drizzle dressing over each bowl.
