Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowls:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

For the Creamy Tahini Feta Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 23 tablespoons water (to thin)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken breasts for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Tahini Feta Sauce: Blend tahini, feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and water in a food processor until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Grill or cook marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest and slice.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide quinoa or rice into bowls, top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta. Drizzle with tahini feta sauce and garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • You can substitute quinoa with brown rice, couscous, or cauliflower rice.
