A vibrant and wholesome dish that combines grilled chicken with fresh vegetables and quinoa, perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

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 your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts in the spice mixture and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, cook the quinoa by bringing 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil, adding the rinsed quinoa, and reducing to a simmer for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  5. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. For oven preparation, bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing.
  7. Assemble your bowl with quinoa at the base, topped with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
  8. Serve with hummus and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes

Marinate chicken longer than 15 minutes for deeper flavor. Rinse quinoa before cooking. Allow chicken to rest after cooking.
