Print Recipe

A vibrant and wholesome Mediterranean dish featuring grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and tangy tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 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
  • Fresh lemon wedges for serving
  • Optional: 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • Optional: 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon capers
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley or mint

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub mixture over chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine with water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken 6–7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  4. Prepare vegetables: dice cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, slice red onion, and slice olives.
  5. Assemble bowls with quinoa, grilled chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, and feta cheese.
  6. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce, squeeze fresh lemon juice, and add any desired optional toppings.

Notes

For best results, bring chicken to room temperature before grilling. Use a thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F. Rinse quinoa to remove bitterness.
