Ingredients

6 servings

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • ½ yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 zucchinis, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 head broccoli, chopped
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 pound rotisserie chicken, boned and chopped
  • 1 (5.5 ounce) package crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  • Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a pan over low heat until gleaming. Add bell pepper and onion and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high, add zucchinis and garlic, and saute until they are starting to soften and the onion is transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add broccoli and saute until bright green. Season veggies with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes and quickly saute until they start to crinkle and soften, about 5 minutes. Add chicken to warm through, about 5 minutes more.
  • Separate the quinoa into 6 bowls and top with desired amount of veggies. Top with goat cheese, avocado, and lemon juice.
