Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion), sliced
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
Rinse quinoa under running water and drain. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa and bring it back to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Brush the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture and grill for 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, toss the sliced vegetables with the remaining seasoning mixture and place on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly charred.
To serve, divide the quinoa among four plates and top with grilled chicken and roasted vegetables.
