Greek Chicken Bowl

Print Recipe

A fresh and vibrant Greek Chicken Bowl packed with grilled chicken, quinoa, crisp veggies, feta, and olives for a healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 lemons (juiced)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Kosher pepper (to taste)
  • 1 ½ cups quinoa (uncooked)
  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 English cucumber (diced)
  • 4 Roma tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 red onion (medium, diced)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1 cup kalamata olives (pitted)

Instructions

  1. Add the 1 ½ cups quinoa to a small saucepan with 2 cups of water and a generous pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and simmer for about 12–15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender. Once done, drain if needed, then set aside and allow it to cool.
  2. To a small jar, add all dressing/marinade ingredients (¼ cup olive oil, 2 lemons juiced, 1 tablespoon honey, ½ tablespoon lemon zest, 1 garlic clove minced, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, kosher salt, and kosher pepper) and stir vigorously to emulsify.
  3. Pour about 1/3 of the marinade over the 4 chicken breasts and toss to completely coat. Reserve the remaining marinade to use as dressing, making sure it does not touch the raw meat.
  4. Heat a grill pan or an outside grill over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and grill for 6–8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).
  5. Divide the cooled quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top with the grilled chicken and prepped veggies (English cucumber chopped, Roma tomatoes diced, and red onion diced).
  6. Add the 1 cup feta cheese into the bowls and 1 cup kalamata olives over the chicken bowls. Drizzle with the remaining untouched dressing.

Notes

Serve the bowls warm or at room temperature. Add extra lemon wedges for squeezing. You can also serve with warm pita or a small side salad.
