  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Use high-quality olive oil for better flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to your preference.

For the Bowl

  • 1.5 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice Use quinoa for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved) Fresh, ripe tomatoes provide the best flavor.
  • 1 medium cucumber (diced)
  • 0.5 medium red onion (thinly sliced)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss until well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.

Cook the Chicken

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Base

  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare your quinoa or brown rice according to the package instructions. This will be the base of your bowl.

Assemble the Bowls

  • In each bowl, start with a generous serving of quinoa or brown rice. Top it with the cooked chicken, followed by cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.

Garnish and Serve

  • Finish off your bowls with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the chicken longer. Adjust the veggies based on what you have on hand.
