Ingredients:
Dressing/Marinade:
- ½ cup high-quality olive oil (such as Kasandrinos Olive Oil)
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Kosher pepper, to taste
Quinoa Bowls:
- 1½ cups quinoa, uncooked
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 1 English cucumber, diced
- 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1 red onion, medium, diced
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa thoroughly, then cook it in a pot with 2 cups of chicken broth over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Make the Dressing/Marinade: Utilizing high-quality olive oil, such as Kasandrinos Olive Oil, combine it with lemon juice, honey, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper in a small jar. Shake vigorously to blend the flavors seamlessly.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Pour about 1/3 of the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Set aside the remaining marinade for dressing later, ensuring it avoids contact with raw meat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooled quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with grilled chicken, diced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and diced red onion.
6. Finish with Flavor: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and kalamata olives over each bowl. Drizzle with the remaining dressing for an extra burst of Mediterranean flair.
