A colorful and nutritious lunch box packed with grilled chicken, quinoa, fresh veggies, and a creamy dip, perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Almonds
  • 1 cup Broccoli
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Lentils
  • 2 Hard-boiled eggs

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Rinse the grains first to ensure they flair out fluffy when cooked. Place them in a pot with water and allow them to simmer until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa has popped slightly.
  2. Grill or bake the chicken breast until it’s cooked through and juicy, usually about 6-7 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. Once done, let it rest a few moments before slicing it into thin, elegant pieces.
  3. Steam the broccoli until it’s tender yet still vibrantly green, which should take around 5 minutes.
  4. Layer the cooked quinoa as a hearty base in your favorite lunch box or bowl. Artfully arrange the sliced chicken on top for that protein power boost.
  5. Add in the steamed broccoli, followed by juicy cherry tomatoes and lentils for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.
  6. Garnish your creation with almonds for a delightful crunch, and add a scoop of Greek yogurt on the side.
  7. Include a hard-boiled egg to round out the meal with even more protein.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and keep Greek yogurt separate until ready to eat.
