Cook Chicken
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
Prepare Dressing
  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Assemble Bowls
  1. Divide the cooked quinoa or rice among three bowls. Top with cooked chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with the lemon-herb dressing and sprinkle with fresh dill before serving.

Notes

For meal prep, store components separately and assemble right before eating to maintain freshness. You can also customize your bowls with other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
