Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 1 cup of quinoa
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts and asparagus.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Grill the asparagus for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
- While the chicken and asparagus are grilling, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Serve the grilled chicken and asparagus over a bed of quinoa. Enjoy!
