Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tbsp dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 large cucumber, diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Place chicken pieces in an airtight container and pour marinade over, ensuring an even coating.
Refrigerate the chicken for at least thirty minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Cook the quinoa according to package directions until fluffy, then set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through.
Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa into four containers.
Top each bowl with cooked chicken, diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Letting the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes significantly improves the texture and depth of flavor. You can store these bowls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them an excellent choice for a meal prep routine.
