Description

Fresh, Healthy and Easy


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 chicken breasts (cooked via sous vide or grilled)
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, halved
  • 1 cup chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 1 container crumbled Feta cheese (plain or garlic/ herb flavor)
  • Pita wedges
  • Favorite Hummus
  • Favorite premade tzatziki sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare chicken breasts: I sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper and sous vide these to be ready in time for dinner. You can do the same simple seasonings or marinade in a Greek salad dressing and grill the chicken as well.
  2. Prepare quinoa as directed. I use chicken broth in place of water in the directions.
  3. Slice cucumbers, tomato, olives, and lettuce.
  4. Prepare each bowl with quinoa, then desired veggies, sliced chicken, then feta cheese on top.
  5. Serve with hummus, tzatziki sauce, and pita wedges.

Notes

  • For my kids, I separate meat, quinoa, veggies, hummus and pita, as they prefer a bowl with “sections”.
  • Warming the naan bread or pita slightly before serving is a nice touch.
  • Sometimes I crisp the quinoa to add texture.  This is easy to do if you bake the prepared quinoa on a baking sheet at 350 for about 20 minutes with some olive oil drizzled on top. It is not necessary and does take the extra time, but it is a fun variation.
