A nourishing bowl that brings simplicity and bright flavor to your table. This dish pairs juicy, oven-roasted chicken with crisp seasonal vegetables for a clean, energizing meal.
This Roasted Chicken Breast Bowl features tender, herb-crusted poultry served over a bed of fluffy quinoa, fresh greens, and roasted root vegetables. It is a balanced, high-protein meal that stores perfectly for lunch throughout the week.
For the Chicken:
4 boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 lemon, juiced and zested
2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Base & Sides:
2 cups cooked quinoa
2 cups broccoli florets
1 sweet potato, diced
4 cups fresh baby spinach
Sea salt and black pepper
Let your chicken rest for five minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices inside the meat rather than on your cutting board, ensuring every bite stays tender.
