makes 1 serving / bowl
Ingredients for EACH bowl:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 English cucumber, diced
1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 red onion, sliced
1-2 Tbsps crumbled feta cheese
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
1 spoonful of plain Greek yogurt
fresh lemon wedges
Chicken marinade:
1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried basil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Place chicken together with the marinade ingredients in a small ziploc bag or glass bowl.
Rub marinade over chicken then seal bag while pressing the excess air out, or place a lid or plastic wrap over the bowl.
Transfer to the refrigerator and marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Carefully brush grill with a bit of avocado oil, or olive oil; don’t burn yourself!
Place chicken on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature has to reach 165 degrees). Allow chicken to rest for 8 minutes, then dice.
Assemble all salad ingredients nicely;
To assemble the bowl, add a layer of quinoa at the bottom. Top with chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta, olives and yogurt. Serve warm or cold.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate, sealed well for 3-5 days for meal prep.
