Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce store-bought or homemade

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.
  3. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and parsley. Toss gently to mix.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the quinoa mixture among four bowls. Top each with sliced grilled chicken and a generous sprinkle of feta cheese.
  6. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • You can also substitute grilled shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
  • For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes to the quinoa mixture.
