Cook this recipe
- boneless skinless chicken breasts-1 1/4 lb
- baby spinach-4 cups
- low-sodium chicken broth-2 cups
- quinoa-1 cup
- grape tomatoes-1 pint
- cucumber-1 medium
- avocado-1 large
- olive oil-3 tablespoons
- lemon juice-3 tablespoons
- garlic powder-1 teaspoon
- kosher salt-1 teaspoon
- black pepper-1/2 teaspoon
Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve, then halve the grape tomatoes and dice the cucumber on a clean cutting board; keep the avocado whole until assembly.
Keep the chef's knife stable and cut on the board, not in your hand.
Bring the quinoa and broth to a boil, cover and simmer on low for about 15 minutes, until tender and the liquid is absorbed. Follow package timing if different. Remove from heat, rest covered for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork. Lift the lid away from your face.
Lift the lid away from your face to avoid steam burns.
While the quinoa cooks, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces on a separate cutting board, then toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Wash hands, the knife, and the cutting board after handling raw chicken, and keep it separate from fresh vegetables.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in an even layer and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and 165°F in the center.
Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil with lemon juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to make a light dressing.
Divide baby spinach among 4 bowls, then add the cooked quinoa. Top with the cooked chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, and freshly sliced avocado, then drizzle with the lemon dressing.
Slice the avocado on the cutting board rather than in your palm.
For meal prep, pack the dressing separately and add avocado just before serving for the freshest texture.
