Method

Main Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Side Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook Quinoa

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed.

  2. 6

    Prepare Salad

    While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and feta cheese.

  3. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and combine it with the salad mixture. Serve alongside the grilled chicken.
