Cheesy Chicken, Cauliflower & Quinoa Bake

1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2.In the prepared dish, combine the cubed chicken, cauliflower florets, rinsed quinoa, cooked brown rice, and cooked lentils.

3.In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

4.Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken and vegetable base, stirring gently to ensure the quinoa is submerged and everything is evenly coated.

5.Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the chicken is cooked through.

6.Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

7.Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.
