Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 Juice of 1 lemon
For the Bowl
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Extra lemon wedges (for serving)

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add your chicken breasts and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Assemble Your Bowls
  1. While the chicken rests, prepare your bowls. Start with a scoop of quinoa or brown rice as your base. Top with diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and olives. Slice the chicken and arrange it on top. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and finish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
