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.
