Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 lemon (for juice and zest)

Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Quinoa: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

        Chop the Vegetables: In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives. Squeeze half a lemon’s juice over the top, sprinkle with salt and toss to combine.

          Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of quinoa in each serving bowl. Layer the sliced chicken thighs on top, followed by the chopped vegetable mixture. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the bowls.

            Dressing: Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the bowls and add a lemon wedge for an extra burst of flavor.
