Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 (5.3 ounce) containers Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
½ lemon, juiced
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
2 pounds chicken breasts
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup quinoa
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 small cucumbers, quartered and chopped
2 roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 ¼ cups Kalamata olives, sliced
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
½ cup diced red onion
1 ¼ cups olive oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
¼ teaspoon granulated garlic

Steps:

  • Mix Greek yogurt, oregano, lemon juice, black pepper, and granulated garlic together in a large bowl. Add chicken and coat with yogurt mixture. Cover and refrigerate; let marinate 1 1/2 hours.
  • Combine chicken broth, quinoa, and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Let peppers cool for a few minutes before slicing and placing in a bowl.
  • Place tomatoes, chickpeas, olives, and onion each into a separate bowl.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine olive oil, vinegar, feta cheese, lemon juice, black pepper, oregano, dill, and granulated garlic in a bowl. Whisk dressing, making sure to break up feta cheese.
  • Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from heat and let rest about 10 minutes.
  • Assemble 6 bowls by spooning quinoa into the bottom. Add cucumbers, roasted peppers, tomatoes, olives, chickpeas, and red onions around the perimeter of the bowl. Add chicken.
  • Whisk dressing really well and spoon equally over bowls.
