Method

Main Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest.

Side Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Quinoa

    In a pot, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes. In a bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese. Toss gently to mix.

  3. 5

    Serve the Dish

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve it over a bed of quinoa. Add the salad on the side and garnish with fresh parsley.
