Description

20 minute BBQ chicken quinoa bowl. A healthy dinner in one bowl and ready in 20 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 cups water or stock
  • 1 cup frozen sweet corn kernels, thawed (fresh would be great, too, in season)
  • 1 cup chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup cooked beans (pinto or black work great)
  • 1 cup good-quality BBQ sauce, divided
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small sauce pan, bring the quinoa and water or stock to a boil.  Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is cooked.
  2. While the quinoa is cooking, place the corn, chicken, and beans in a large bowl.  Once the quinoa is finished, place the hot quinoa on top of the other ingredients and stir to combine.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup BBQ sauce.  Top each bowl with 1/4 of the avocado slices and drizzle with the remaining BBQ sauce.  Serve and enjoy!
