Tips
Be sure to rinse the quinoa, otherwise it will develop a bitter taste. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can dry out. For fewer calories, the amount of olive oil can be cut in half.
Variations
You can make an omega-3 rich version by using salmon instead of chicken. The avocado can be left out to lower the fat content. For a vegan version, chickpeas or tofu can be added instead of chicken.
