Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on all sides.
To assemble each bowl, divide the cooked quinoa evenly among four bowls. Top each with baby spinach leaves, cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion slices, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle each bowl with the prepared tzatziki sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein chicken Greek bowl.
