½ cup quinoa, rinsed and drained

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 8-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, halved horizontally

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ of a peeled avocado

¼ cup finely snipped fresh cilantro
-
2 tablespoons plain fat-free Greek yogurt

1 to 2 teaspoons lime juice

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
