A tasty and healthy Grilled Greek Chicken Quinoa Bowl full of Mediterranean flavors that is great for a meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade for the chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them

Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate

While the chicken is marinating, rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed

Fluff with a fork and set aside

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165F 75C and the chicken is cooked through

Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese

Toss to mix well

Divide the quinoa salad among serving bowls, top with grilled chicken strips, and garnish with fresh parsley
