A delicious and healthy supper for the entire family! Making these bowls in advance or on short notice is quite simple. Gluten-free, and if you omit the chicken and use vegetable broth, you can make it vegetarian. This meal can feed somewhere between 3 and 6 people, depending on how much quinoa or vegetables you choose.

Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup quinoa
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- ½ yellow onion, chopped
- 2 zucchinis, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 head broccoli, chopped
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 pound rotisserie chicken, boned and chopped
- 1 (5.5 ounce) package crumbled goat cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- While quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a pan over low heat until gleaming. Add bell pepper and onion and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high, add zucchinis and garlic, and saute until they are starting to soften and the onion is transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add broccoli and saute until bright green. Season veggies with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes and quickly saute until they start to crinkle and soften, about 5 minutes. Add chicken to warm through, about 5 minutes more.
- Separate the quinoa into 6 bowls and top with desired amount of veggies. Top with goat cheese, avocado, and lemon juice.
- You can use any kind of cooked, shredded chicken you prefer. You can use vegetable broth instead of chicken.
- The avocado, goat cheese, and lemon juice are optional for topping.
