Instructions

Cook the quinoa. To make 4 cups of cooked quinoa, you need 1.5 cups quinoa and 2 + ¼ cups water and ⅔ teaspoon salt. Rinse the quinoa and strain. Combine the quinoa and water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes more. Then, remove the lid and fluff with a fork!

Marinate the chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and place them in a bowl. Drizzle lemon juice and olive oil and sprinkle the spices, oregano, salt and pepper on top. Toss through using your hands.

Cook the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan/skillet over medium-high. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for 4 minutes each side, Then drizzle with about a tablespoon of honey and stir through for another 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from heat and rest.

Make the salad. While the chicken is cooking, mix the salad. Place all ingredients in a bowl, add lemon juice, salt, pepper, fresh herbs, and feta and toss through.

Assemble quinoa bowls. Per bowl, add 1 cup of cooked quinoa, cooked chicken pieces, mixed salad, top with extra feta cheese and a few extra olives, and garnish with extra herbs, a dollop of Greek yogurt and nuts.
