Why this recipe works
Lean chicken provides a high-quality protein source that supports muscle recovery, satiety, and blood sugar stability without heaviness.
Quinoa adds complementary amino acids and slow-digesting carbohydrates that help maintain steady energy throughout the day.
Fresh herbs and lemon support digestion and mineral absorption, while olive oil delivers nourishing fats that improve satiety without slowing digestion.
This bowl is one I rely on when I need something protein-forward that still feels light and easy on the system.
