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 your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the spice mixture. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. While the chicken marinates, cook the quinoa. Bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil, then stir in the rinsed quinoa and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed, then fluff it with a fork.
  5. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it’s no longer pink inside. If baking, cook for 25-30 minutes. Let the chicken rest before slicing.
  6. In a bowl, start with a scoop of quinoa. Layer with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
  7. Top off with hummus and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
