Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

½ red onion, finely chopped

½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

¼ cup tahini

Juice of 1 lemon

Water (to thin tahini dressing)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

      Prepare the Bowl: In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and Kalamata olives. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients.

        Make the Tahini Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the quinoa mixture, sliced chicken, and top with crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

            Serve: Enjoy your Mediterranean Chicken Bowl fresh, or store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days!
