Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 medium red onion, chopped
• 2 pieces bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with half the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped red onion and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the zucchini, grape tomatoes, and black beans to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked quinoa and chicken broth. Mix everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
