A vibrant and flavorful Lemon-Dill Chicken Bowl filled with juicy chicken, zesty lemon, and fresh veggies, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 piece lemon (juiced and zested)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 piece cucumber (diced)
  • 1/4 piece red onion (sliced)
  • Feta cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing the chicken breasts in a bowl. Add the juice and zest of the lemon, chopped dill, olive oil, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything well, ensuring that the chicken is well coated. Let this marinate while you prepare the other ingredients—about 10 minutes will do.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare your veggies. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and slice the red onion.
  4. Once the chicken is fully cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. In a serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa or rice as the base. Next, add the vibrant vegetables and top with the sliced chicken. Crumble some feta cheese on top if desired.

Notes

This dish is great on its own or paired with greens or a light yogurt dressing. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
