Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup quinoa
juice and zest from one lime
1 dash salt and pepper
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
1 avocado, peeled and cubed

Steps:

  • Combine all the dry seasonings in a small bowl. Mix them together and then season both sides of each chicken breast.
  • Add the teaspoon of olive oil to a large pan or skillet. Heat the olive oil for a minute over medium/high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook for seven minutes on each side with the lid on.
  • Add the chicken stock and quinoa to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a simmer over medium/low heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for ten to fifteen minutes with the lid on, until all the stock has been absorbed.
  • After the chicken breasts have cooked all the way through, remove them from the pan and let them rest for seven minutes before slicing them.
  • Add the warm quinoa to a large bowl. Toss in the lime zest, lime juice, salt and pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix to combine.
  • Place the flesh from an avocado along with two tablespoons of Greek yogurt in a food processor and puree until smooth.
  • Serve the chicken on top of the quinoa and glob some avocado heaven on top!

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was overcooked and the quinoa was mushy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the quinoa was bland. I wouldn't make this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said the chicken was delicious and the quinoa was the perfect side dish. I would make this again, but I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I still really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the quinoa was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, maybe with a different herb instead of cilantro.
