Notes
Storage: Assembled bowls can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results, store the dressing separately and add just before eating to keep the ingredients from getting soggy. Make-Ahead Tips: Cook the quinoa, roast the broccoli, and grill the chicken up to 3 days in advance. Store components separately and assemble bowls fresh. The dressing can be made 2-3 days ahead and stored in a sealed jar in the fridge (it will thicken, so stir in a little water before serving). Substitutions: Use chicken thighs for juicier meat. For a vegan version, replace chicken with roasted chickpeas or tofu. Use any grain like brown rice or farro instead of quinoa. Serving Suggestions: These bowls are delicious warm or cold. Add extra veggies like roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, or avocado for more variety.
