Here’s an easy, healthy meal idea that takes minimal effort to prepare:
Grilled Chicken and Veggie Bowl
Ingredients:
1 chicken breast (or use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience)
1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, zucchini, or frozen veggie mix)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (or your favorite seasoning blend)
Lemon wedge (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Chicken:
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Grill or pan-sear it over medium heat for 6–7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. (Use pre-cooked chicken to save time.)
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
Sauté mixed vegetables in olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper until tender (5–7 minutes). You can also steam or microwave frozen veggies.
3. Assemble the Bowl:
Place the cooked quinoa or brown rice (if using) in a bowl.
Add the sautéed veggies and sliced chicken breast on top.
Drizzle with lemon juice or your favorite low-calorie dressing for extra flavor.
Optional Add-ons:
Avocado slices.
Sprinkle of feta cheese or nuts for crunch.
Why it’s great:
Balanced: Contains protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
Quick: Ready in under 20 minutes.
Flexible: Swap chicken for tofu or fish, and use any veggies you have on hand.
