This recipe is perfect for those who want to improve their diet because the chicken quinoa bowl is easy to put together in batches for use later. I made 10 servings and put them in freezer and microwave safe containers. That gave me two weeks worth of healthy and tasty lunches. They are great as is, but if you want to mix up the flavor a little you can add different sauces to the pre-made lunch. I alternated between going with no sauce, BBQ sauce, hoisin sauce, and a sweet and tangy sauce. Chicken quinoa together makes a great canvas for a variety of flavors because they have a neutral taste.
