Ingredients
Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
1 cucumber, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa or rice among four bowls.
Top each bowl with the cooked chicken, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle each bowl generously with the prepared Greek dressing. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can prepare the chicken and dressing ahead of time for quicker assembly.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
