A vibrant Mediterranean Chicken Bowl packed with flavor, featuring marinated chicken, fluffy quinoa, and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup hummus
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, cook the quinoa. Bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil, add the rinsed quinoa, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid has absorbed. Fluff with a fork when done.
  5. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. If baking, place in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Assemble your Mediterranean Chicken Bowl by starting with a base of quinoa. Layer on sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
  7. Add a dollop of hummus on the side and garnish with fresh parsley.
  8. Serve with lemon wedges for that extra zesty kick.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu and quinoa with brown rice. Rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to achieve a fluffy texture.
