Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups chicken broth (or water)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 red onion, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup kalamata olives, pitted

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Tzatziki sauce (optional for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade, cover, and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and cooked through. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

      Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Once cooked, remove from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

        Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is resting, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, red bell pepper, and kalamata olives. Toss gently to mix.

          Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of quinoa. Top with sliced grilled chicken, followed by the mixed vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

            Serve: Serve the Greek chicken bowls with lemon wedges on the side and a dollop of tzatziki sauce if desired.
