Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (907 g) skinless boneless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil
  • 6 tablespoon (90 ml) s lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon (8 ml) s dried oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • 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
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) tahini
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
