Quinoa Chicken Power Bowl

This is one of those fantastic meals that is as healthy for you as it is beautiful to look at.

Tons of fiber, protein and vitamins from quinoa, chicken and crisp cabbage, peppers and edamame. Feel free to add in whatever veggies you have on hand. This is very similar to my Buddha bowl recipe I posted a few months back. This recipe has a mariande you poach the chicken in for deep flavor. Vinegar, lime juice and spicy ginger break down the chicken making it extra tender. You then use the cooked marinade to cook the quinoa and you do not waste a drop of the delicious juices.

You can serve the veggies raw, I let the cabbage soak in a bit of vinegar to break down the fibers a bit, or you can quickly steam the veggies in the soba noodle cooking pot.

Just try to save you from lots of dish washing.

To serve- it’s full to lay out a colorful platter with all the ingredients and let folks choose what they want. This is even better served the next day- if you have any leftovers.

You can tweak the peanut sauce recipe to your liking. You may want to add more soy, vinegar or honey just depending on how sweet you like it.

The soba noodles are not necessary, but I find it’s helpful to have an extra carb on the plate when feeding a crowd.

Enjoy!
