  • Cook quinoa according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide cooked quinoa among plates as the base. Arrange roasted vegetables around quinoa and top with sliced chicken breast. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon juice.
  • Serve immediately while warm. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
