Grilled Chicken Grain Bowls - Sara Mattillion - fit815 - FitMe Wellness - Rockford Illinois

I don’t know about you, but warmer weather means taking advantage of cooking outside!

Check out this recipe for Grilled Chicken Grain Bowls. Not a fan of zucchini? No problem! Swap the veggies for a mix that you and your family enjoy. Oh, I should mention . . . The leftovers make for a terrific lunch!

PREP TIME: 15 minutes
COOK TIME: 15 minutes
SERVINGS: 4

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to
    approximately ½ inch thick
  • 3 C cooked quinoa
  • 2 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 avocado, quartered
  • Chopped basil
  • Crumbled feta (optional)
    For the marinade:
  • ¾ C olive oil
  • ¼ C low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp grainy mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION

  1. Trim chicken of fat and pound to ½ inch thickness.
  2. Prepare marinade by whisking all marinade
    ingredients together. Reserve ¼ cup for drizzling over
    finished bowls, if desired. Put chicken and marinade into
    container and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grease the
    clean grates with a paper towel dipped in olive oil.
    Cook chicken 8-10 minutes per side or until a meat
    thermometer reads 165°F. Remove from heat and place
    on plate. Cover with foil and let chicken rest a few
    minutes before slicing.
  4. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper to
    taste. Cook over medium-high heat 12-15 minutes or
    until slightly charred and tender.
  5. Assemble the grain bowls. Place ¾ cup cooked
    quinoa (or other grain) in bottom of bowl. Add roasted
    vegetables and chicken on top. Top with sliced avocado,
    basil and feta, if desired. Drizzle reserved marinade on
    top, if desired. •
