  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook Quinoa: Prepare the quinoa according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.

  4. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa at the base, then place the sliced grilled chicken on top. Drizzle generously with the avocado sauce.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish the dish by sprinkling fresh cilantro over the top. Serve warm or chilled according to your preference.
