Harvest Bowl
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 medium carrots peeled & sliced
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken breasts cut in half or flattened
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
Quick Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt plain
  • 1 garlic clove grated
  • 1/2 cucumber grated
  • 2 teaspoons dill weed dried
Servings: bowls
Units:
Instructions
  1. Wash hands and clean the preparation area. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a cooking sheet with foil. Rinse all fresh vegetables before slicing.
  2. In a bowl combine the broccoli florets and carrot slices, toss in olive oil. Arrange on the cooking sheet in a single layer leaving room for the chicken.
  3. Chicken breasts should be cut in half lengthwise to reduce the thickness, breasts can also be flattened with a meat hammer. Arrange in a single layer on the cooking sheet and sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning on top. Bake for 25 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. While the chicken is in the oven cook the quinoa if not already done.
  5. While chicken is in the oven make the tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, combine the greek yogurt, garlic, cucumber, and dill and stir well. You can also use store-bought tzatziki sauce but this will change the nutritional information.
  6. Once everything is done, divide the quinoa among 4 refrigerator airtight containers, top with vegetables and sliced chicken. Keep the tzatziki sauce in a separate container. Reheat the quinoa bowls to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F before topping with tzatziki sauce and consuming. Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days.

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Rinse and pat dry poblano peppers and place on a baking sheet. Turning occasionally, roast in oven for 20-25 minutes until all sides are charred and blistered.
  2. Remove peppers from oven and place inside a sealed plastic bag to sweat for 10-15 minutes. (This process makes peeling the skin easier.) Once cooled, peel skin with a knife and remove stems and seeds. Dice peppers and set aside.
  3. Over low to medium heat, warm oil in a large pot and add onion and garlic to sauté until soft.
  4. Add diced poblano, drained corn, paprika, salt, pepper, broth, and water. Combine and simmer for 25 minutes covered.
  5. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Blend soup in pot until smooth using an immersion blender, or scoop into a regular blender.
  6. Slowly stir in milk to soup in the pot and add lime juice. Reheat soup stirring in shredded cheese until smooth and melted.
  7. Serve in bowls and top with garnishes such as cilantro, lime, diced jalapenos, a slice of avocado, or reduced-fat sour cream.
  8. **Peppers can also be roasted on an open flame over the grill or using a griddle.
Recipe Notes

**Additional topping such as avocado and sour cream can alter the nutrition facts food label.
