A flavorful Mediterranean Chicken Bowl featuring grilled chicken, quinoa, fresh vegetables, and a zesty lemon-oregano dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (about 1/3 cup dry)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill or sauté the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear, about 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, sliced kalamata olives, and crumbled feta.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper until emulsified.
  5. Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  6. Divide the salad into bowls and top with the sliced chicken. Serve immediately.

Notes

For additional texture, toast some pine nuts or slivered almonds to sprinkle on top before serving.
