Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Quinoa Base:

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Chicken:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the Toppings:

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup store-bought tzatziki sauce

Instructions:

Prepare the Quinoa.
In a medium pot, bring water or chicken broth to a boil.
Add the quinoa and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Cook the Chicken.
Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the Bowl.
Divide the quinoa among four bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta.
Add a dollop of store-bought tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
