Ingredients
Scale
2 chicken breasts
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cucumber, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Instructions
Season and cook the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook each breast for about 6-7 minutes per side until they’re perfectly cooked through. Let them cool for a moment before slicing them into tender pieces.
Combine the bowl ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, pitted and halved Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Whisk the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Dress and toss the mixture: Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture, and toss gently to combine.
Assemble your bowls: Divide the quinoa mixture into meal prep containers. Top each bowl with slices of the cooked chicken and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
