Instructions
 

  • Marinate chicken breasts in your favorite citrus/garlic marinade overnight.
    2 chicken breasts, 1-2 cups mojo criollo marinade
  • Air Fry chicken breasts for 10-15 minutes at 350 until cooked to 155º. Remove and let rest. That's they key - cook a little under temp and they'll come up to temp and be delicious & juicy!
  • While chicken is resting, microwave rice/quinoa mixture according to package directions.
    2 cups cooked brown rice & quinoa
  • Prep veggies: slice tomatoes and dice avocado
    10 grape tomatoes, 1 avocado
  • When quinoa is cooked, divide between two serving bowls
  • Top quinoa/argula with tomatoes, salsa, pickled red onions and avocado
    1/3 cup Black bean & corn salsa, 1/4 cup pickled red onions
  • Slice chicken and place on top of quinoa.
  • Add a heaping spoonful of yogurt to the bowl
    1/2 cup Plain Fat Free Greek yogurt
  • Top with crumbled feta and salsa verde
    1/4 cup salsa verde, 1/3 cup feta

Notes

– You can use rotisserie chicken if you like
– For the brown rice/quinoa – you can either use a bag of frozen rice/quinoa or Minute Rice makes a microwavable one! Super quick!
