Pesto Power Bowl

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (370g) cooked quinoa 
  • 1 ½ cups (222g) grape tomatoes (halved)
  • ½ cup (56g) reduced fat feta cheese
  • 4 cups (80g) arugula
  • ½ cup (143g) kale pesto
  • 1 lb (454g) cooked skinless chicken breast

Instructions:

  1. Place quinoa, tomatoes, feta, and arugula in a large bowl. Add kale pesto and toss until evenly distributed.
  2. Divide quinoa salad into 4 equal portions and top each with 4-ounces of chicken. Serve room temperature or cold, garnished with extra basil leaves, if desired.

Notes

  1. Pesto bowls will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  2. Macros were calculated using grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast but rotisserie chicken will also work great here (macros will vary).
