Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear each side for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Cook it in a medium saucepan with the chicken broth according to package instructions.
- Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta, and parsley evenly among four bowls.
- Drizzle with remaining olive oil before serving.
