Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture evenly.

    Cook the Chicken: Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

      Cook the Quinoa or Rice: If you haven't already, prepare the quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

        Prep the Veggies: While the chicken is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion.

          Assemble the Bowls: In a large serving bowl or individual bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or rice at the bottom. Top with sliced grilled chicken, chopped vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and spinach), and sprinkle feta cheese and olives on top.

            Dress It Up: Drizzle the lemon juice over the bowls. Add a little extra olive oil if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley.

              Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your healthy Greek chicken bowls while fresh!
