A vibrant and delicious chicken bowl infused with fresh lemon and herbs, featuring chickpeas, quinoa, and feta cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 100 grams feta cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and combine it with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Once it’s done, fluff it gently with a fork.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in that zesty marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat. Grill or pan-sear the marinated chicken for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the heat and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and chop fresh parsley.
  6. Divide the fluffy quinoa among serving bowls. Top with the sliced chicken, chickpeas, tomatoes, and cucumber. Crumble feta cheese generously over each bowl.
  7. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top and finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Notes

Great for meal prep! Store components separately and reheat as needed. Feel free to swap chicken for shrimp or use tofu for a vegetarian option.
