Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook quinoa: Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and water or broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Marinate chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook chicken: Grill or pan-cook the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F), about 5-6 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice.
  4. Prepare vegetables: Dice cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, slice red onion and olives.
  5. Assemble bowls: Divide cooked quinoa among bowls. Top with sliced chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought tzatziki sauce for extra flavor.
