Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse quinoa under cold water, then combine with 90ml water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Step 2
Season chicken breast with garlic powder, paprika, 1/8 tsp salt, and black pepper. Heat 1/2 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 3
Toss broccoli, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes with remaining 1/2 tsp olive oil and 1/8 tsp salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, and lemon juice to create a creamy sauce.
Step 5
Divide cooked quinoa, sliced chicken, and roasted vegetables evenly into meal prep containers. Top chicken with the yogurt sauce or serve on the side. Store in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
