Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Greek
Ingredients: 225g Quinoa; 25g Butter; 1 chopped Red Chilli; 1 clove finely chopped Garlic; 400g Chicken Breast; 2 tbs Olive Oil; Handful Black Olives; 1 chopped Red Onions; 100g Feta; Chopped Mint; Juice of 1/2 Lemon

This vibrant Chicken Quinoa Greek Salad layers tender grilled chicken, fluffy quinoa, and crisp cucumbers with briny olives, juicy tomatoes, and creamy feta, all tossed in a bright lemon-oregano dressing. The quinoa adds a subtle nuttiness and satisfying bite, while the chicken stays moist and flavorful, thanks to a quick mallet tenderizing before grilling. A sprinkle of red onion and a drizzle of golden chicken juices bring everything together, balancing the dish’s fresh, herby brightness with rich, savory depth. It’s a hearty yet light meal that’s as nourishing as it is delicious, perfect for warm evenings or meal-prep lunches.
