Greek Chicken Quinoa Bowl is a fresh and flavorful meal packed with protein, whole grains, and Mediterranean-inspired toppings like cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, and olives, all served over fluffy quinoa.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for dressing)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water or broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
  2. Season chicken with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and olive oil to make the dressing.
  5. In a large bowl, assemble the bowls with a base of quinoa, then top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta.
  6. Drizzle with dressing and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

  • Use grilled chicken for a smoky flavor.
  • Make it vegetarian by replacing chicken with chickpeas.
  • Quinoa can be made ahead and stored for up to 5 days.
