Greek Chicken Quinoa Salad Bowl Recipe

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

For the quinoa

  • 1 cup uncooked white quinoa
  • 2 cups water or broth

For the chicken

  • 2 medium chicken breasts
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper

For the Greek salad

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes chopped
  • 1-2 cup cucumber diced
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives sliced
  • ½ red onion sliced or chopped
  • ½ cup parsley chopped
  • ½ cup shredded or crumbled feta

Instructions

  • Cook the quinoa - Rinse the quinoa first so it doesn’t taste bitter. Then cook with water or broth according to the package. Fluff it with a fork and set aside.
  • Cook the chicken - Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub it all over the chicken breasts. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken whole for about 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice right before serving. Trust me, this keeps it super juicy.
  • Make the salad - In a bowl, toss together tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, parsley, and shredded feta. I usually drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil and lemon here too.
  • Build your bowls - Add quinoa to the bottom, sliced chicken on one side, Greek salad on the other. Maybe an extra squeeze of lemon and a little more feta on top because why not.
