Grilled Corn Quinoa Bowl
Chicken, veggies, quinoa and a zingy buttermilk dressing are perfectly matched in this meal in a bowl.
Ingredients
- 1½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup red quinoa, rinsed
- 4 ears corn, husked
- ¾ cup whole-milk buttermilk
- ¼ cup chopped fresh dill, divided
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
- 2 cups coleslaw cabbage mix
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
Preparation
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a simmer. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink inside, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and let cool. Using 2 forks, shred chicken; set aside 1½ cups in a large airtight container.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook quinoa according to package directions. Spread cooked quinoa over a baking sheet and let cool. Spoon 1 cup into the same airtight container as chicken and set aside.
- Heat a grill pan on medium-high. Grill corn, turning often, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let cool. Using a sharp knife, remove kernels from cobs (about 1½ cups). Discard cobs. Spoon ¾ cup kernels into same container as chicken and quinoa and set aside for Chicken Enchiladas. Refrigerate up to 2 days.
- In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, 2 tbsp dill, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper.
- Divide remaining quinoa among bowls. Top with coleslaw mix, tomatoes, remaining corn and chicken and avocado. Drizzle with buttermilk dressing. Top with remaining 2 tbsp dill.
