Directions

Step 1

Marinate the chicken breasts in lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

Step 4

Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 5

Dice the avocados and mix them with the cooked quinoa. Add a squeeze of lime juice and additional cilantro if desired.

Step 6

Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of avocado quinoa. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.
