One Bowl Quinoa BBQ Chicken

May 29, 2012 by Julie 26 Comments

One bowl meals are right up my alley.

One bowl = Less clean up and a whole lot of flavor!

Since we had a decent amount of BBQ pulled chicken leftover from last night’s dinner, I threw it into a bowl with some Feed Adam quinoa, fresh spinach, roasted green beans and zucchini.

The chicken was so thin and finely shredded that it practically blended into the quinoa.

This bowl took me a while to eat! All of the chewy quinoa coupled with the vegetables made for one heck of a filling meal.

Now I’m off to investigate your recommendations for the PBF June Book Club selection on the PBF Facebook page. We’ll be voting on the next book later this week!

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    One bowl meals are awesome! I bet some fresh asparagus would’ve gone perfectly with your bowl, too!

    We have one bowl meals a lot! When ever I have a random selection of veggies sitting around I toss them together. Especially during the summer when I make fresh dill dressings and such!

    THat looks great!

    I love one bowl dishes! The problem is that I can never remake the same dish twice. Not a bad problem if it wasn’t a keeper but terrible if we really liked it!

    One meal bowls are usually the only way I eat meals, especially since I have no dish washer up in here. Such a hassle. The quinoa mixed with the meat and veggies looks wonderfully tasty

    I love all things BBQ chicken, and one bowl dishes are even better, especially since I do a lot of cooking for just myself during the day 🙂

    You know, I read these food blogs and salivate over the fun creations and think “I can do that”, but yet when I go home and open my fridge, I stand there and just stare like I’m brain dead and can’t think of what to create on my own. I’m always at a loss of what to make for supper. I LOVE LOVE LOVE quick simple meals too, but I end up making the same old stuff I make on a weekly basis.

    I made this a couple nights ago but put kale instead of spinach and sugar snap peas instead of green beans…it was a huge hit! And I had cajun grilled chicken to shred in it so that also added to the taste. And i through some spoonfuls of marinara sauce in it to give it more flavor. But it was such a good idea!
