Ingredients
  

For the Lemon Herb Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Quinoa Base
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
For the Fresh Veggie Toppings
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Creamy Tzatziki Dressing
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed of excess water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Medium Saucepan
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Marinate and Cook the Chicken: While the quinoa cooks, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives as directed. Set them aside in separate containers if you're meal prepping.
  4. Whisk Together the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble Your Power Bowl: Start with a bed of quinoa. Top with the cooked lemon herb chicken, fresh veggies, crumbled feta, and a generous dollop of tzatziki dressing. Serve immediately or pack for later!
