- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small 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. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a little olive oil. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
