Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Bowl:

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the quinoa and chop the vegetables. In a bowl, layer the quinoa, grilled chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado.

Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips for Perfect Grilling

To achieve perfectly grilled chicken, ensure that your grill is preheated to medium-high heat. This helps to sear the chicken and lock in the juices, resulting in tender and flavorful meat. Avoid flipping the chicken too often; let it cook on one side for a few minutes before checking for doneness.

Using a meat thermometer can help ensure your chicken is cooked to perfection. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after grilling to let the juices redistribute, keeping it moist and delicious.

Storage and Meal Prep

This Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Bowl is perfect for meal prep! Store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The chicken can be grilled in advance and reheated, while the quinoa and vegetables maintain their freshness when stored properly.

For optimal freshness, consume the bowl within 3-4 days. If you wish to freeze the chicken, do so before grilling to preserve its flavor and texture. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw and marinate before grilling, and you'll have a quick and easy meal ready in no time.
