Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup mixed bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add sliced bell peppers and cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
Place seasoned chicken in the baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, cook quinoa according to package instructions.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and lime juice.
Once cooked, slice the chicken and assemble your bowls by layering quinoa at the base, adding sautéed vegetables on top, followed by sliced chicken. Drizzle with sauce before serving.
