Follow these simple steps to prepare your Chicken Buddha Bowl:

1. Cook the Quinoa: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Set aside.

2. Prepare Chicken: While the quinoa cooks, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

3. Season Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

4. Cook Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.

5. Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add your mixed veggies and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but still vibrant.

6. Assemble Bowl: In a serving bowl, add a base of quinoa, top it with sliced chicken, sautéed veggies, and avocado.

7. Garnish Optional: Feel free to add your favorite toppings like nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of dressing for added flavor!

Following these steps will help you create a nourishing Chicken Buddha Bowl effortlessly.
