# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until tender and lightly caramelized.
04 - While vegetables roast, combine 1 cup rinsed quinoa, 2 cups vegetable broth or water, and ½ teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
05 - Pat 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
06 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
07 - In a salad bowl, combine 4 cups mixed salad greens and 1 sliced cucumber. Toss with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
08 - Divide cooked quinoa among 4 bowls as the base. Top each with roasted vegetables, sliced chicken, a handful of lemon salad, and avocado slices. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
