Mixed Meal Recipe

Gather Ingredients

Make sure you have all necessary ingredients: 2 chicken breasts, 1 cup quinoa, 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 red bell pepper, 1 avocado, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 lemon, salt, and pepper.

Cook Quinoa

Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender.

Grill Chicken

Season 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

Prepare Vegetables

While the quinoa and chicken are cooking, cut 2 cups of broccoli florets, dice 1 red bell pepper, and slice 1 avocado. Toss the broccoli and bell pepper with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Roast Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the broccoli and bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.

Assemble the Meal

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sliced chicken, roasted vegetables, and avocado. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the mixture and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Divide the mixed meal into four servings. Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
