Ingredients

Greek Chicken Marinade

⅓ cup olive oil extra virgin
1 lemon juiced
3 garlic cloves minced
½ tbsp oregano
½ tbsp basil
1 tsp honey
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp paprika
1 lb chicken breast boneless skinless

For the Bowls

2 cups quinoa cooked
1 pint grape tomatoes halved
1 cucumber diced
½ cup red onion chopped
½ cup kalamata olives
4 oz feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the Greek chicken marinade ingredients: lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, honey, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pound the chicken breast to be about ½” thick. In a shallow bowl or ziploc bag, add the chicken and marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
While the chicken is marinating, prep the quinoa and vegetables.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the chicken from the heat to a cutting board and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Assemble the bowls with the quinoa, diced veggies, and sliced Greek chicken. Top with tzatziki, fresh parsley, olive oil, and/or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
