“Perfect. The tricolor quinoa is a great choice as it is a whole grain and rich in fiber. The roasted veggies are also a fantastic addition providing additional fiber and nutrients. Just remember to drink water with your meal to stay hydrated. Keep up the good work!”
Instructions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it according to package instructions, using water or low-sodium chicken broth for added flavor (about 15 minutes).
3.
While the quinoa cooks, prepare the vegetables. Toss the diced sweet potatoes, halved Brussels sprouts, chopped onion, and minced garlic in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
5.
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer. In the last 15 minutes of roasting the vegetables, add the chicken thighs to the baking sheet.
6.
Once everything is cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and serve it alongside the roasted chicken and vegetables. Garnish with fresh herbs.
