Ingredients

  • 1 large chicken breast, skinless
  • ½ purple onion, diced
  • ½ avocado, diced
  • 1 cup of black beans
  • ½ cup of dry quinoa
  • ½ cup of corn, grilled
  • ¼ cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 2 tbsp. of New Roots Herbal’s Heart Smart Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp. of New Roots Herbal’s Beef Bone Broth Protein
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 °F (205 °C).

Toss chicken with 1 tbsp. of olive oil. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, as well as salt and pepper to taste. Bake the chicken breast in the oven for 25 minutes or until done.

Prepare the quinoa on the stovetop according to the directions on the packaging. Add 2 tbsp. of New Roots Herbal’s Beef Bone Broth Protein.

While the quinoa is cooking, combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl.

Serve cold with fresh cilantro on top.
