Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced (or substitute with chickpeas for a vegetarian option)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 8 cups mixed greens
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 English cucumber, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Optional tahini dressing:
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2.5 tbsp tahini paste
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp chopped dill
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, dill, parsley, olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, thyme, and coriander. Toss the sliced chicken in the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Roast the marinated chicken on a sheet pan in a single layer for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the tahini dressing by mixing lemon juice and tahini together, slowly adding water to adjust the consistency. Whisk in olive oil, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble your bowls by placing mixed greens at the bottom, layering on quinoa, followed by chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, sliced chicken, and crumbled feta. Drizzle with tahini dressing.
Notes
Fresh vegetables enhance flavor; feel free to swap chicken for chickpeas or adjust spices to your preference.
