Print Recipe

A vibrant and healthy Mediterranean-inspired meal featuring marinated grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and tangy feta served over a bed of fluffy quinoa or rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Tzatziki sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, coat well, and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Prepare quinoa or rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and no longer pink.
  4. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
  5. In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
  6. Assemble the bowls by layering quinoa/rice, sliced chicken, and the fresh veggie mixture.
  7. Top with crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, and a drizzle of tzatziki sauce.

Notes

  • For quicker prep, marinate the chicken the night before.
  • Can be served cold or warm, making it excellent for meal prep.
  • Substitute quinoa with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
  • Ensure the pan is hot before adding chicken to get a nice sear.
