A hearty Mediterranean Chicken Bowl featuring marinated grilled chicken, fluffy quinoa, and fresh veggies, perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup hummus
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  4. While the chicken marinates, cook the quinoa. Boil 2 cups of water or chicken broth. Add the rinsed quinoa and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, then fluff with a fork.
  5. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked, or bake for 25-30 minutes. Let rest before slicing.
  6. Assemble the bowl starting with a base of quinoa. Add sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
  7. Add a dollop of hummus, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas. Add spices or red peppers for extra flavor.
