Greek Chicken Quinoa Bowl

  4.5 – 1 reviews  • Greek

It tastes like a potato, the green plantain! Any potato fan will want to make this dish because of the gooey, cheesy middle. With sour cream or ketchup, serve.

Ingredients

  1. 3 (5.3 ounce) containers Greek yogurt
  2. 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  3. ½ lemon, juiced
  4. ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  5. ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  6. 2 pounds chicken breasts
  7. 2 cups chicken broth
  8. 1 cup quinoa
  9. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  10. 3 small cucumbers, quartered and chopped
  11. 2 roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
  12. 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  13. 1 ¼ cups Kalamata olives, sliced
  14. 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  15. ½ cup diced red onion
  16. 1 ¼ cups olive oil
  17. ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  18. 1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
  19. 1 lemon, juiced
  20. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  21. 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  22. ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
  23. ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic

Instructions

  1. Mix Greek yogurt, oregano, lemon juice, black pepper, and granulated garlic together in a large bowl. Add chicken and coat with yogurt mixture. Cover and refrigerate; let marinate 1 1/2 hours.
  2. Combine chicken broth, quinoa, and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  3. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Let peppers cool for a few minutes before slicing and placing in a bowl.
  5. Place tomatoes, chickpeas, olives, and onion each into a separate bowl.
  6. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  7. Combine olive oil, vinegar, feta cheese, lemon juice, black pepper, oregano, dill, and granulated garlic in a bowl. Whisk dressing, making sure to break up feta cheese.
  8. Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from heat and let rest about 10 minutes.
  9. Assemble 6 bowls by spooning quinoa into the bottom. Add cucumbers, roasted peppers, tomatoes, olives, chickpeas, and red onions around the perimeter of the bowl. Add chicken.
  10. Whisk dressing really well and spoon equally over bowls.
