Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Tzatziki sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken breasts with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  2. Cook the quinoa by bringing it to a boil with water (or broth), then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing.
  3. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest and slice.
  4. Prepare the vegetable mix by combining cherry tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, and parsley; drizzle with lemon juice.
  5. Assemble the bowls with a base of quinoa, top with sliced chicken, vegetable mixture, and feta. Add tzatziki if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Pair with warm pita, arugula salad, or a glass of chilled white wine.
