Instructions
 

Cooking Quinoa

  • 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 the quinoa is done cooking, drain if needed, then set aside and allow it to cool.

Preparing Dressing

  • To a small jar, add all dressing/marinade ingredients and stir vigorously to emulsify.

Marinating Chicken

  • Pour about ⅓ of the marinade over the chicken breasts and toss to completely coat. Reserve the remaining marinade to use as dressing, making sure it doesn't touch the raw meat.

Grilling Chicken

  • Heat a grill pan or an outside grill over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and grill for 6-8 min per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reads 165F.

Assembling Bowls

  • Divide the cooled quinoa among serving bowls. Top with the grilled chicken and prepped veggies. Add the feta cheese and kalamata olives, then drizzle with the remaining untouched dressing.

Notes

This bowl is a perfect meal prep option and can be customized with other vegetables.
