Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup quinoa (rinsed)

2 cups chicken broth (or water)

2 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp honey

3 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup baby spinach

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

    Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for later use. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator.

      Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

        Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl or plate, create a bed of cooked quinoa. Top with sliced grilled chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and baby spinach. Drizzle the reserved honey mustard marinade over the top.

          Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle the bowl with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley for additional flavor and garnish.

            Serve: Serve the Honey Mustard Chicken Quinoa Power Bowl warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy and delicious meal!
