Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high or your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan.
  5. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side or bake in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the chicken and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Create a bowl with quinoa as the base and top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
  9. Finish with hummus, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

For additional flavor, marinate chicken overnight. If you prefer lower carbs, substitute quinoa with riced cauliflower.
