Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley. Toss with lemon juice and balsamic glaze.
- Divide the quinoa mixture into serving bowls and top with the grilled chicken slices.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
