Chicken Bacon Quinoa Bowl

Delicious! I just started getting into turkey bacon. I never really wanted to try it because I do not like pork bacon. But I love turkey, so my husband suggested I try it. Well it's delicious. This recipe originally calls for rice but since I'm not a fan, I substituted it with quinoa. You can also make it with cauliflower "rice".
