Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Once done, set it aside to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano. Grill or pan-cook them over medium heat until thoroughly cooked (about 6-7 minutes on each side). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, diced red onion, olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified.
- In serving bowls, layer cooked quinoa, sliced chicken, and the colorful vegetable mixture. Drizzle generously with the dressing and toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For more flavor, consider marinating the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
