Scale
- ¼ cup olive oil (or avocado oil)

- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- Kosher pepper (to taste)
- 1 ½ cups quinoa (uncooked)
- 4 medium chicken breasts (2 lbs boneless and skinless, 32-ounces)
- 1 English cucumber (diced)
- 4 Roma tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 red onion (medium, diced)
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 Cup kalamata olives (pitted)
Instructions
- Step 1: Add the 1 ½ cups quinoa to a small saucepan together with 2 cups of water and a generous pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and allow it to simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender. Once the quinoa is done cooking, drain if needed, then set aside and allow it to cool.
- Step 2: To a small jar, add all dressing/marinade ingredients ( ¼ cup olive oil, 2 lemons (juiced) 1 tablespoon honey, ½ tablespoon lemon zest, 1 garlic clove – minced, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, Kosher salt, and Kosher pepper) and stir vigorously to emulsify.
- Step 3: Pour about 1/3 of the marinade over the 4 medium chicken breasts and toss to completely coat. Reserve the remaining marinade to use as dressing, making sure it doesn’t touch the raw meat.
- Step 4: Heat a grill pan or an outside grill over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and grill for 6-8 min per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reads 165F.
- Step 5: Divide the cooled quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top with the grilled chicken and prepped veggies (1 English cucumber- chopped, 4 Roma tomatoes, diced, and 1 red onion, diced).
- Step 6: Add the 1 cup feta cheese into the bowls separately and 1 Cup kalamata olives over the chicken bowls and drizzle with the remaining untouched dressing.
