Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade by whisking olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a dish and pour the marinade over. Marinate for 15 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  3. While marinating, rinse quinoa and combine with 2 cups water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let sit.
  4. Heat a skillet or grill, add olive oil, and cook chicken for 5-8 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Prepare the vegetables: halve tomatoes, dice cucumber, slice onion, halve olives, and crumble feta.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Start with quinoa, add sliced chicken, then arrange vegetables, olives, hummus, feta, and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Great for meal prep. Store components separately for best freshness. Use chicken thighs for a more forgiving meat texture.
