Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with fork.

Step 3

Season chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place on one side of the baking sheet.

Step 4

Toss bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and broccoli with balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt. Spread on the other side of the baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal) and vegetables are tender. Let chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice.

Step 6

While everything cooks, make dressing: whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add more water for thinner consistency.

Step 7

Divide quinoa among 4 meal prep containers. Top with sliced chicken (or chickpeas) and roasted vegetables. Drizzle with dressing. Seal and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
