Balsamic Brussels Sprouts And Chicken Quinoa Bowls – flavorful and delicious protein packed meal.
Hi guys! Are you having a nice weekend?
I’m away camping, but couldn’t wait to share today’s recipe with you!
I’m suspecting you’ve been missing my quinoa recipes.
Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of them coming.
Quinoa bowls are one of my favorite meals and I’m constantly experimenting with new recipes.
Brussels Sprouts anyone?
This quinoa bowl consists of balsamic roasted brussels sprouts, fresh spinach, balsamic-soy oven baked chicken breast and toasted pepitas.
Simple to make with great flavors, just in time for fall.
The combination of flavors is amazing.
I’m not going to lie, this is not a 15-minute meal but, to be honest it takes about an hour.
And you can also cook the chicken in advance and then carefully reheat it.
I made these bowls for dinner the other day and I’ve been dreaming of them ever since.
I’m glad I was able to combine some nutritious ingredients, rich in protein, iron, vitamins and minerals in a simple meal like this.
Have a great weekend!

We must be on the same food wavelength because I posted a breaded maple glazed Brussels sprouts recipe on the blog this week, and made a bowl for dinner the same night! There’s nothing better than savory roasted sprouts. They look good! Have fun camping!
