Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

⅓ cup red onion, finely chopped

¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Juice of 1 lemon

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors (or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Base: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions.

        Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice. Top with sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

          Add Freshness: Drizzle the lemon juice over the assembled bowls and sprinkle with chopped parsley. For added spice, top with crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

            Serve: Enjoy hot or cold, perfect for meal prep or a quick healthy dinner!
