I’m making a 5 ingredient BBQ chicken and quinoa bowl recipe that will blow your mind!  It’s so easy to make, you’ll be eating dinner in under 30 minutes.

5 ingredient BBQ Chicken and Quinoa Bowl

I love eating in bowl form because it allows even the pickiest eater to enjoy their meal.  A friend of mine has a family with all sorts of allergies so she always just makes bowl dinners so each person can have their own toppings.  Brilliant!  It works with kids too.

I start this 5 ingredient BBQ chicken and quinoa bowl recipe with quinoa because it packs in the protein and is a great blank canvas to add flavors to.

Next come all of the tasty toppings.  And, they are oh-so-simple!  Since it’s only five ingredients, it’s perfect for 5-ingredient Fridays!

All you need for toppings are:

  • BBQ sauce
  • Fried onions
  • Corn

Everyone has their own favorite BBQ sauce and I personally love to make my own or when I’m in a bit more of a hurry, I use one like this one.

I love making this bowl when corn is in-season because it’s just that much better.  But of course, frozen corn is a great alternative option.

Top the bowl with a delicious helping of friend onions for a nice added crunch and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Nonstick Pan
  • Slow Cooker
  • Meal Prep Glass Food Storage Containers

Ingredients

  • 1 Boneless/skinless chicken breast Cooked (see cooking instructions below or use rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 cup Quinoa Cooked (see cooking instructions below, or use premade 90-second quinoa)
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup crispy fried onions
  • 1 ear corn cut in half and cooked. Or use 1/2 cup frozen corn.

Quinoa

  • 1/2 cup dry quinoa
  • 1 cups water

Instructions

To Cook Quinoa

  • Rinse quinoa for about 30 seconds.
  • Combine quinoa and water in saucepan and bring to a boil. Decrease heat to low and cook until quinoa has absorbed all of the water.

To Cook The Chicken

  • Coat chicken in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt and 1 pressed garlic clove (or a dash of garlic salt). Bake until done. Time will vary depending on size of chicken breast.
    Alternatively, pan fry the chicken breast or cook it in a slow cooker.

To Assemble The Bowl

  • To assemble bowls -divide quinoa between two bowls, and divide toppings between the bowls-chicken, bbq sauce, fried onions and corn. Enjoy!

Notes

For more flavor, you can cook your quinoa in chicken stock or 1 tsp. Better than Bullion instead of water.

This week I’m sharing a recipe for these seed crackers, that happen to be gluten free (and nut free and are ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS!!) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I created the recipe based on some seed crisps things I had at Trader Joe’s and just couldn’t get them off my mind, they were so good! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are so good, serve them with a cheese plate or with some hummus!!

Iced coffee or hot coffee?! ☕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s nothing I enjoy more than a cold, delicious iced coffee from Starbucks. But sometimes I don’t have the time (or, let’s be real, the 💰) to pick one of these bad boys up in the mornings, so I was determined to figure out how to make Starbucks iced coffee at home, which is exactly what I did with this french press iced coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Can we talk food storage?

Storage containers and finding the right ones that work for me has been a complete game changer!

Not only do I use containers as mixing bowls/etc but I also use them for food storage and for photography props!
