Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by cooking the quinoa. In a small pot, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1 cup of water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa appears fluffy. If the quinoa is too wet, let it sit uncovered to evaporate excess moisture.
2. 2.
   While the quinoa cooks, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it reaches a nice golden brown and is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the heat, let it rest for a minute, then slice into strips.
3. 3.
   In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with the juice and zest of the lime. This creates a refreshing and tangy dressing that will enhance the flavors of the entire dish. If the mixture is too thick, add a small splash of water to achieve a drizzling consistency.
4. 4.
   To assemble, place the cooked quinoa in a shallow bowl. Arrange the sliced grilled chicken on top, followed by the black beans. Drizzle the lime yogurt dressing over the dish evenly to cover.
5. 5.
   Finish by garnishing with any remaining lime zest for an added burst of flavor. Serve warm, and enjoy this nutritious, high-protein meal. If the chicken seems dry, a hint of olive oil can be drizzled on top.
