Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

  3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
  4. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes then slice thinly.
  5. Assemble the bowl by placing cooked quinoa as the base, top with baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and sliced chicken.
  6. Sprinkle with feta cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.
  7. Drizzle extra lemon juice or olive oil if desired before serving.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute chicken with marinated grilled tofu and omit feta cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
