Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
For the Bowl:
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 0.5 cup chopped red onion
  • 0.5 cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Lemon-Herb Dressing:
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls.
  5. Top the quinoa with the cooked chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
  6. Drizzle generously with the lemon-herb dressing and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra boost of flavor, add a dollop of tzatziki sauce to each bowl. You can also substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if preferred.
