For the Chicken

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
For the Bowl

  • 1/2 cup Black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup Corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup Chopped red onion
For the Dressing
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the chicken in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. On the other side of the baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets and sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly browned. Flip the chicken and vegetables halfway through baking.
  5. While the chicken and vegetables are baking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  6. Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with the baked chicken, roasted broccoli, roasted sweet potato, black beans, corn, and red onion.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over each bowl before serving.

Notes

You can substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
