1/2 tsp garlic powder 🧄
1 tbsp lemon juice 🍋
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
For the Grain Base:
1 cup cooked quinoa, farro, or brown rice 🍚
1 cup spinach or mixed greens 🥬
For the Feta Dressing:
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled 🧀
2 tbsp Greek yogurt 🧑🍳
1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
1 tbsp lemon juice 🍋
1 tsp dried oregano 🌿
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
1-2 tbsp water (to thin the dressing) 💧
For the Bowl:
1/2 cucumber, diced 🥒
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 🍅
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced 🧅
Fresh parsley or basil for garnish 🌿
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, combine olive oil 🫒, oregano 🌿, basil 🌿, garlic powder 🧄, lemon juice 🍋, salt, and pepper 🧂. Coat the chicken breasts 🍗 with the marinade and let it sit for at least 20-30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Prepare the Feta Dressing:
In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese 🧀, Greek yogurt 🧑🍳, olive oil 🫒, lemon juice 🍋, oregano 🌿, salt, and pepper 🧂. Whisk until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add water 💧 a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Assemble the Grain Bowl:
In each bowl, place a scoop of cooked quinoa, farro, or brown rice 🍚 as the base. Add a handful of spinach or mixed greens 🥬. Top with sliced herby chicken 🍗, diced cucumber 🥒, halved cherry tomatoes 🍅, and sliced red onion 🧅.
Drizzle with Feta Dressing:
Drizzle the creamy feta dressing 🧑🍳 generously over the bowl and garnish with fresh parsley or basil 🌿.
