Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups quinoa
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 lemons (juiced)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 English cucumber (diced)
  • 4 Roma tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 medium red onion (diced)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1 cup kalamata olives (pitted)

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Simmer on medium heat for 12–15 minutes until tender. Drain if needed and set aside to cool.
  2. Make the dressing: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a small jar. Seal and shake vigorously to emulsify.
  3. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, coat chicken breasts with one-third of the dressing. Reserve the remaining dressing for later.
  4. Grill the chicken: Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
  5. Assemble bowls: Divide cooled quinoa among serving bowls and top with grilled chicken and diced vegetables.
  6. Add toppings: Sprinkle each bowl with feta cheese and olives before drizzling with reserved dressing.
