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.

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.

Ingredients to make easy BBQ chicken and quinoa bowls

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.

The best ever BBQ chicken and quinoa bowls

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.

Cook Time: 30 minutes minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes minutes
Servings: 2 people

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.
