Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken breasts by combining the olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the quinoa by combining it with water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Fluff with a fork.
  3. Grill the chicken on a preheated grill or skillet for 6-7 minutes per side until it reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest and slice.
  4. Mix cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and parsley in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss.
  5. Assemble the bowls starting with quinoa, topped with sliced chicken, vegetable mix, and feta. Add tzatziki if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Pair with pita or a fresh salad.
