    Categories: Grains, Poultry, Vegetables, Dairy, Fruits
    Yield: 2 servings

    1/4 c Balsamic vinegar
    2/3 c Water
    1/3 c Quinoa; rinsed
    2 (6 oz ea) boned, skinned
    - chicken breast halves
    3 ts Olive or coconut oil;
    - divided
    1/4 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Salt; divided
    1/4 ts Pepper; divided
    1/2 lb Fresh asparagus; trimmed
    1/4 c Plain Greek yogurt
    1/2 ts Spicy brown mustard
    1/2 md Ripe avocado; pitted,
    - peeled, sliced
    6 Cherry tomatoes; halved

    Place vinegar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook
    until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a
    bowl; cool completely.

    In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add quinoa.
    Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed,
    10-12 minutes. Keep warm.

    Heat broiler. Toss chicken with 2 teaspoons oil, the
    garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon
    pepper. Place on half of a 15x10x1-in. pan coated with
    cooking spray. Broil chicken 4 in. from heat for 5
    minutes. Meanwhile, toss asparagus with remaining 1
    teaspoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

    Remove pan from oven; turn chicken over. Add asparagus.
    Broil until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°
    and asparagus is tender, 3-5 minutes. Let chicken stand
    5 minutes before slicing.

    For dressing, stir yogurt and mustard into balsamic
    reduction. To serve, divide quinoa between 2 bowls; top
    each with chicken, asparagus, avocado and tomatoes.
    Serve with dressing.
