Preparing the Base

Begin by gathering all components and patting the chicken cubes dry with paper towels. Dry protein browns better and prevents steaming. Toss the chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, then let it rest for five minutes so the spices adhere evenly. While the chicken marinates, cook the quinoa according to package instructions, fluff it with a fork, and set aside.
