- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cup (720 ml) s cooked quinoa
- 10 ounce (283 g) s good-quality store bought hummus
- Israeli Salad (recipe below)
- Tahini Sauce (recipe below)
- 1 cup (240 ml) feta cheese, crumbled
- Parsley, chopped, for garnish
- 1 cucumber, peeled and seeds removed, finely diced
- 2 plum tomatoes, peeled and seeds removed, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) chopped parsley
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper

- 1 clove garlic
- 3 tablespoon (45 ml) s lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s water
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, along with a generous amount of Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper into a ziploc bag. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours, ideally overnight.
- When it’s time to prepare the meal, heat the grill to medium-high. Cook the chicken breasts on the grill until they are thoroughly done. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into slices.
- Evenly distribute the cooked quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top each with slices of the grilled chicken, a dollop of hummus, some Israeli salad, a liberal drizzle of tahini sauce, and a scattering of crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Consider enhancing the cooked quinoa by adding a sprinkle of dried oregano before assembling the bowls.
- Season the Israeli salad with salt and pepper to taste for a well-balanced dish.
- Blend a clove of garlic into the tahini sauce for a stronger, more aromatic flavor.
