Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp cumin

• Juice of 1 lime

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl:

For the Dressing:

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, spices, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken breasts evenly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Grill Chicken: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

3. Prepare Dressing: Whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4. Assemble Bowls: Divide quinoa among bowls. Arrange sliced chicken, avocado, tomatoes, corn, and red onion over the quinoa.
