Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup quinoa

2 cups chicken broth (or water)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 cup baby spinach

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Marinade:

    In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Reserve a little marinade for drizzling later.

      Marinate the Chicken:

        Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for extra flavor).

          Cook the Quinoa:

            Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

              Cook the Chicken:

                Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze from the honey mustard. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

                  Prepare the Veggies:

                    While the chicken is resting, prepare the salad ingredients. In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and spinach. Toss lightly.

                      Assemble the Power Bowl:

                        Begin with a base of quinoa in each bowl. Top with the mixed veggies, sliced chicken, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.

                          Garnish:

                            Drizzle the reserved honey mustard marinade over the bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

                              Enjoy!

                                Mix up each bowl before eating to combine the flavors and enjoy your healthy, delicious Honey Mustard Chicken Quinoa Power Bowl!
