Equipment

  • Grill Pan
  • Small saucepan
  • small jar

Ingredients
  

Dressing/Marinade

  • 0.25 cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 whole lemons juiced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 0.5 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Kosher pepper to taste

Quinoa Bowls

  • 1.5 cups quinoa uncooked
  • 4 medium chicken breasts 2 lbs boneless and skinless

  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Add the 1 ½ cups quinoa to a small saucepan together with 2 cups of water and a generous pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and allow it to simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender. Once done, drain if needed, then set aside and allow to cool.
  • To a small jar, add all dressing/marinade ingredients and stir vigorously to emulsify.
  • Pour about ⅓ of the marinade over the 4 medium chicken breasts and toss to coat. Reserve remaining marinade for dressing.
  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reads 165°F.
  • Divide the cooled quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top with the grilled chicken and prepped veggies.
  • Add feta cheese into the bowls separately and kalamata olives over the chicken bowls. Drizzle with the remaining untouched dressing.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Substitute maple syrup for honey if desired. Ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F. Avoid overcooking chicken. For a vegetarian option, skip the chicken and load up with more veggies. Store dressing separately when meal prepping.
