Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 chicken breast, pre-cooked with your favorite seasoning (instructions below)
  • 1/3 cup quinoa
  • 1/3 cup zucchini, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 avocado, chopped
  • 2 tbsp feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp hummus
  • 1 handful chopped kalamata olives
  • 1 squeeze of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Bake chicken breasts at 350 for about 20 minutes or until cooked through. I sprinkled the chicken with olive oil and my favorite chicken seasoning. Once cooked, dice half of a chicken breast and save the rest for another meal. 
  • Cook quinoa according to package. Halfway through cooking time, I added 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic and a good squeeze of a lemon. 
  • While the quinoa cooks, drizzle a tbsp or so of olive oil in a pan. Once hot, add the cut up chicken, zucchini, and other 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic. Cook until the zucchini is soft.  
  • n your bowl, add 1/3 cup of the quinoa and the cooked chicken and zucchini. Top with black olives, feta, avocado, and hummus.
