Cook Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil (212°F), add 1 cup quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat, let sit covered for 5 minutes, then spread on a plate to cool for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate) to form resistant starch.

Temperature: 212°F
Season and Grill Chicken
Pat the chicken breast dry, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and drizzle with half of the olive oil. Grill on medium‑high heat (about 375°F) for 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 3 minutes before slicing.
Time: PT12M
Temperature: 375°F
Assemble the Plate
Place the cooled quinoa on a plate, top with sliced grilled chicken and avocado. Drizzle the remaining olive oil and lemon juice over the top. Serve the salad on the side and sip the apple cider vinegar drink first.
