Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For the Bowls
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 piece cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 piece red onion, diced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Method
 

Marinating the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they’re well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer if possible.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. Heat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Preparing the Quinoa
  1. While the chicken is cooking, prepare your quinoa if it’s not already ready. Follow package instructions, usually about 15 minutes in boiling water.
Assembling the Bowls
  1. In meal prep containers, start with a base of quinoa, then layer on the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
Serving or Storing
  1. Drizzle additional olive oil and lemon juice over the top for added flavor. Enjoy fresh or refrigerate for meal prep later in the week.

Notes

These bowls can be stored in airtight containers for up to 4 days and can also be frozen for up to three months. When reheating, use a microwave-safe container and add a splash of water or extra olive oil to moisten if needed.
