Time to Cook

Steps to Make It

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. This will help the chicken cook evenly and get that nice golden color.
2. While the oven heats, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub the spices in well to coat every piece.
3. Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. You want it juicy and tender.
4. While the chicken is baking, cook your quinoa according to package instructions. It should be fluffy and slightly chewy when done, which takes about 15 minutes.
5. Next, chop your veggies. Dice the cucumber, bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes. The more colorful, the better!
6. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. This keeps it moist and flavorful.
7. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced veggies, feta cheese, parsley, lemon juice, and tahini. Toss everything together until well mixed. It should smell fresh and inviting.
8. Finally, divide the quinoa mixture into meal prep containers and top each with sliced chicken. These bowls are ready to be enjoyed throughout the week!

Make It Perfect

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
• Add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for creaminess.
• Feel free to switch up the veggies based on what you have on hand.

Mix It Up

• Try adding olives for a briny kick.
• Swap quinoa for cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
• Use grilled chicken instead of baked for a smoky flavor.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with pita bread for a complete meal.
• Pair with a light Greek salad on the side.
