Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups chicken broth or water
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut 1 lb chicken breasts into desired pieces. In a bowl, combine chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Rinse 1 cup quinoa. In a saucepan, combine quinoa, 2 cups broth/water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let rest 5-10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Let rest, then slice.
  4. While chicken and quinoa cook, dice 1/2 cucumber, halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes, thinly slice 1/4 red onion, and slice 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives. Crumble 1/2 cup feta cheese.
  5. Divide cooked quinoa among serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken, prepared vegetables, olives, and crumbled feta.
  6. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
