Main Dish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Garnish

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

Side Dish Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.

  2. 6

    Cook the Quinoa

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

  3. 7

    Prepare the Salad

    While the quinoa cooks, chop the cherry tomatoes and cucumber. In a bowl, combine the chopped vegetables and feta cheese.

  4. 8

    Combine and Serve

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