Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Assemble the bowls. Divide cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle each bowl generously with the prepared tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with grilled halloumi or chickpeas.
