Tequila Lime Chicken Quinoa Bowl Recipe
When you are trying to eat healthy it can be difficult to find recipes that are also easy and flavorful. No one should have to live on bland food and salads!
This Tequila Lime Chicken Quinoa Bowl is packed with nutritious ingredients but is definitely not lacking in flavor. Lean chicken breast is cooked with a tequila, lime and honey glaze. The glaze is made with just three ingredients and takes this meal to a whole new level!
I love making simple quinoa bowls, especially during the summer months. This is a great light meal that will keep you full for hours.
What if you do not eat quinoa?
No problem. This chicken can be served over cauliflower rice. That will make it Paleo compliant too.
What else can you add to this quinoa bowl?
Most anything that you would add to a taco or burrito bowl will work great. Tomatoes, peppers, cheese, beans and onions to name a few.
What tools do you need for this recipe?
You’ll need a good Baking Dish
and Meat Thermometer
. For meal prep, I use these Glass Meal Prep Containers with Lids
. Quality, sharp knives are always good to have in your kitchen. I use these Chef’s Foundry Ceramic Knives and LOVE them!

Please post the recipe on your blog. The website you are referring us to asks for information. I don’t visit websites like that.
Sorry for your trouble, Dee. The site requires a birthdate because it is alcohol.
Couldn’t find it on their site. Can’t you just include it in an email or on your site?
Sorry for the site trouble, Stacy.
No trouble. This just looked SO good that I wanted to make it ASAP. 🙂
