_Sips green tea_ Ladies (and gents), let me share this absolutely divine recipe that’s been making waves in my kitchen lately! Trust me, once you try this Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl with Honey-Lemon Chicken, you’ll wonder why you ever waited in those drive-thru lines.
Let’s get real – we’re all busy, but that doesn’t mean we need to sacrifice flavor or nutrition. This recipe is my go-to when I want to feel like a kitchen goddess without spending hours by the stove (because hello, we’ve got other things to do!).
What You’ll Need:
– 1 cup quinoa
– 2 chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 lemon
– Mixed cherry tomatoes
– 1 cucumber
– 1 avocado
– Feta cheese
– Fresh mint leaves
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste

Now, let’s make magic happen:
1. Rinse your quinoa (don’t skip this step, trust your girl on this one!) and cook it with 2 cups of water until fluffy.
1. While that’s happening, whisk together honey, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper for your chicken marinade.
1. Slice chicken breasts into strips and let them bathe in that honey-lemon goodness for 15 minutes (perfect time to scroll through Instagram, am I right?).
1. Grill the chicken until golden and juicy – about 5-7 minutes each side.
1. Chop your veggies: halve those cute little tomatoes, dice cucumber, and slice that perfectly ripe avocado.
1. Assembly time! Layer your quinoa, arrange your chicken strips, scatter those colorful veggies, crumble that feta (be generous, we’re not counting calories today), and sprinkle fresh mint leaves.
1. Drizzle with extra olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. _chef’s kiss_
