Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa, sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.
  5. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade.
  • You can also substitute quinoa with brown rice or couscous for a different grain option.
