The complete meal: protein, complex carbs, healthy fats, and vegetables in one bowl.

Ingredients

  • 5 oz cooked grilled chicken, sliced

½ cup cooked quinoa

  • 1 cup roasted broccoli or mixed veggies

¼ avocado, sliced

  • 2 tbsp hummus
  • Lemon tahini dressing: 1 tbsp tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp water, garlic powder

Directions

  1. This bowl uses pre-cooked components — the ultimate meal prep lunch.
  2. Warm chicken and quinoa (2 min microwave), or eat at room temperature.
  3. Assemble bowl: quinoa base, chicken on top, vegetables on the side.

Add avocado slices and a dollop of hummus.

  1. Mix tahini dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over everything.

Notes

Prep all components on Sunday: grill chicken, cook quinoa, roast vegetables. Assemble bowls for Monday–Friday and refrigerate. Store dressing separately. Each lunch takes 3 minutes to “make” all week.
