You can throw this lunch together in a flash, or you can increase the recipe to feed the family or just to have extra for another day of the week. 
Here, I'm just going to share the recipe for 1.


INGREDIETS-

1/3 cup Quinoa and cook it according to directions
1 can Black Beans (use only half, after it's cooked)
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 can Chicken Breast (6 oz,)

Optional-chopped scallions, sliced jalapenos, salsa and non fat Greek yogurt for topping.


DIRECTIONS-

Cook the quinoa according to package directions.
Mix the entire can of black beans with the seasonings and warm this on the stove. Do not drain the can. On the plate, start with quinoa, topped with half of the cooked beans, about 1/2 can of chicken breast. I didn't even warm the chicken. Just tossed it right on top.
