Turn the oven on to 200 °C on convection and pull out the baking sheet with some parchment paper.
Cut the veggies
Cut the zucchini (200 g) and the red bell pepper into 2 cm cubes. Toss them in the mixing bowl with 1 cl of olive oil, the paprika, the salt and the pepper.
Roast the veggies
Spread the veggies on the sheet in a single layer and pop them in the oven. Flip them halfway through.
Rinse the quinoa
Put the 150 g of quinoa in the strainer and rinse it under cold water, rubbing it with your hand, until the water runs clear.
Tip · Unrinsed quinoa stays bitter. Rub it well under the water until it stops foaming.
Cook the quinoa
Put the quinoa in the saucepan with 300 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, turn the heat down and cook until the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let it swell for 5 minutes with the lid on.
Prep the chicken
Slice the 2 chicken breasts (about 300 g) in half horizontally so they cook fast. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken
Heat 2 cl of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until it's white all the way through and the juices run clear (74 °C).
Tip · Don't move the chicken for the first few minutes, it gets more color and won't stick to the skillet.
Slice the chicken
Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes on the cutting board, then slice it into strips.
Build the bowls
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and split it between the two bowls. Add the roasted veggies and the chicken strips.
