Method
Preparation
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken breasts with the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Combine it with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the quinoa absorbs all the water and is fluffy. Set aside to cool.
Cooking
- Grill the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juicy. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
Assembly
- In a large bowl, combine diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Add the cooked quinoa to the bowl and gently toss all ingredients together.
- Divide the quinoa salad among four serving bowls and arrange the grilled chicken slices on top.
- Drizzle each bowl with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Chicken Bowl!
