Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quinoa Bowls with Chicken and Vegetables.
Step 1
To start your delicious quinoa and vegetable dish, grab a saucepan and bring the chicken broth and quinoa to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to medium-low, cover it up, and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
Step 3
Don’t forget to season it with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 4
While the quinoa is cooking, take a large pan and warm up some olive oil over low heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 5
Toss in the chopped green bell pepper and onion, sautéing them for just 1 to 2 minutes until they start to soften and release their lovely aromas.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to turn up the heat to medium-high.
Step 7
Add the chopped zucchinis and minced garlic to the pan, stirring them together for about 5 to 7 minutes until the zucchinis are tender and the onion has turned a beautiful translucent color.
Step 8
Next, introduce the chopped broccoli to the mix and sauté until it turns a vibrant bright green, seasoning everything with a little salt and pepper to taste.
Step 9
Then, stir in the halved grape tomatoes and let them sauté for another 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and wrinkle, adding a burst of color and flavor to your dish.
Step 10
Finally, fold in the chopped rotisserie chicken, stirring it through the vegetables for about 5 minutes until everything is warmed and well combined.
Step 11
To serve, scoop the fluffy quinoa into six bowls, generously topping each with the sautéed vegetable medley.
Step 12
Crumble some creamy goat cheese on top, add slices of fresh avocado, and finish it off with a squeeze of zesty lemon juice for that perfect touch.
Step 13
Enjoy this vibrant, wholesome meal that’s not only satisfying but also packed with nutrients!.
