Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For the Bowl
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce (for serving)

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken breasts, coating them well. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour for more flavor.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
  3. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  4. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice.
Prepare the Base
  1. While the chicken is resting, prepare your base by dividing the cooked quinoa or brown rice into serving bowls.
Build Your Bowl
  1. Layer the sliced grilled chicken on top of the quinoa or rice.
  2. Add diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta.
Drizzle and Serve
  1. Finish off with a drizzle of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce.
  2. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish and serve immediately.

Notes

For ingredient substitutions, swap chicken for grilled shrimp or chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Letting the chicken marinate longer enhances flavors.
