Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil, then add rinsed quinoa, reduce heat and cover to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let quinoa stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Mix olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste to make the marinade.
  • Brush chicken breasts with the marinade on both sides, ensuring even coating.
  • Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  • Remove from grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
  • Combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, feta, and parsley in a large bowl.
  • Add cooked quinoa to the veggie mixture and toss together until well combined.
  • Divide quinoa and veggie mixture into bowls, packing it nicely.
  • Top each bowl with sliced grilled chicken, arranging artfully.
  • Drizzle fresh lemon juice over each bowl before serving.

Rinsing quinoa removes bitterness. Customize your veggies for freshness. Allow chicken to rest before slicing for tenderness.
