  • Air Fryer
  • boiling pot

Ingredients
  

Chicken, Quinoa, and Veggies

  • 8 oz boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup dried quinoa
  • 1 cup broccoli
  • 1 sweet potato (peeled and diced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Smoked Paprika Dressing

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Rinse quinoa thoroughly under running water and cook it in boiling water according to package instructions.
  • Mix the Marinade: In a small jar, combine all the marinade ingredients. Use a frother or whisk to emulsify the mixture until smooth and creamy.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a mixing bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s fully coated. Reserve the other half for later
  • Cook the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Roast the Veggies: While the chicken cooks, season the sweet potato and broccoli with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss with olive oil. After the chicken is done, cook the veggies in the air fryer for 4–5 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
  • Assemble the Bowl: Layer the cooked quinoa, roasted veggies, and chicken in a bowl. Drizzle the remaining marinade dressing over the top and give everything a gentle toss to combine.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Pack your bowls into meal prep containers or enjoy one right away for a balanced, satisfying meal.
