Notes from the cook:
Serve this bowl hot or cold.
Looking for more kick to your chicken add 1/4 tsp of chili powder to the spice mixture.
I like to make extra quinoa have it in a breakfast bowl with egg, bacon, guacamole, black beans, and salsa!
Fresh lime juice can be substituted with a drop of Lime Vitality essential oil in 1/2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil drizzled over the bowl.
