Ingredients
  

Chicken and Marinade
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for marinade
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
Yogurt Dressing
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Grains

Method
 

Prepare the Quinoa
  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
Prepare the Yogurt Dressing
  1. In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. In each bowl, layer cooked quinoa, grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and olives. Drizzle with yogurt dressing and serve.
