Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by cooking the quinoa according to package instructions. It's important to rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove the natural bitterness. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly before adding to your bowl.
2. 2.
   While the quinoa is cooking, slice the grilled chicken breast into even strips. To retain moisture, it's ideal to let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling. This step lets the juices redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
3. 3.
   Arrange the baby spinach in a single-serving bowl. Lay the sliced chicken breast atop the spinach for a nice presentation. Fresh spinach provides a crisp texture and a vibrant color contrast against the chicken.
4. 4.
   Scatter halved cherry tomatoes around the bowl for a juicy and sweet bite. The tomatoes should be firm to touch which ensures they are fresh and add the right amount of tanginess to balance the dish.
5. 5.
   Finish by sprinkling the bowl with crumbled feta cheese. The feta introduces a creamy and salty element that complements the chicken and spinach perfectly. For an extra layer of flavor, you can drizzle a little olive oil and a pinch of salt over the top, though it's optional.
