Ingredients
For the grains
- ¾ cup quinoa
- ¾ cup bulgur wheat
- 3 cups water/stock
- 1 tsp salt
For the chicken
- 4 chicken breasts (skinless and boneless)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
For the grain bowls
- Tzatziki sauce
- feta cheese cubed
- kalamata olives
- sliced cucumber
- halved cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa and bulgur wheat together to save time and washing up. I cook the grains until the water has evaporated and leave it to steam with the lid on the pot for 30 minutes.
- Marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, oregano and lemon juice for at least 20 minutes then cook in a medium-hot pan until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
- Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Add cooked grains to a bowl and top with the sliced chicken, cubed feta cheese, olives, cucumber and tomato.
- Serve with a dollop of creamy tzatziki sauce and lemon wedges for squeezing.
