Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup quinoa (or brown rice)

2 cups vegetable or chicken broth (for cooking quinoa)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Lemon wedges for serving

1/4 cup tzatziki sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

      Cook the Quinoa:

        Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring the vegetable or chicken broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

          Grill the Chicken:

            Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

              Prepare the Salad:

                In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives. Toss gently to mix.

                  Assemble the Bowls:

                    In serving bowls, start with a base of quinoa, and top with sliced grilled chicken and the Mediterranean salad mixture. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh parsley or dill, and serve with lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce on the side if desired.

                      Serve and Enjoy:

                        Enjoy your colorful and nutritious Greek chicken bowls warm or chilled, making for a delightful meal packed with flavor and nutrients!
