Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup olives, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked quinoa or rice (for serving)
Instructions
- Create the Flavorful Marinade: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken Breasts: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they’re well-coated.
- Preheat Your Grill or Skillet: While the chicken is soaking up all that good flavor, preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill or skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
- Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking, take the chicken off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Layer Your Bowls: In serving bowls, layer with cooked quinoa or rice, followed by sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta, and olives.
- Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the remaining lemon-dill dressing over the bowls and serve.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
