Ingredients
For the Bowl:
-
1 lb chicken breast, marinated in lemon juice, garlic, and oregano
-
2 cups cooked quinoa
-
½ cup sliced cucumbers
-
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
-
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
-
½ cup Greek yogurt
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 garlic clove, minced
Optional Garnish:
-
Fresh herbs such as parsley, mint, or dill
Instructions
Step 1
Marinate the chicken by combining lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the bright, zesty flavors.
Step 2
Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for about 6–8 minutes per side, until fully cooked and slightly golden on the outside.
Step 3
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and slice thinly against the grain for tender pieces.
Step 4
While the chicken cooks, prepare the quinoa if it’s not already made. Fluff it with a fork and set it aside.
Step 5
Whisk together the tzatziki sauce ingredients—Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic—until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 6
Slice the cucumbers and halve the cherry tomatoes, preparing the fresh veggie toppings.
Step 7
To assemble, divide the quinoa among serving bowls.
Step 8
Top with sliced chicken, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta.
Step 9
Drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh herbs if you like.
Step 10
Serve immediately while everything is fresh and vibrant.
