  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Avocado slices (optional)
  • Grilled bell peppers (optional)
  • Fresh mint or parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Roasted chickpeas for added crunch (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions and let cool.
  4. Dice cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  8. In a large bowl, combine quinoa or rice, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta.
  9. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently.
  10. Top with sliced chicken.
  11. Add optional toppings if desired.

Notes

Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy. Let the chicken rest before slicing to retain moisture. Adjust salt carefully since feta and olives add natural saltiness.
