Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
For the Bowls
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 0.5 cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 cup grated cucumber peeled and seeds removed
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
  4. While the chicken is baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among four meal prep containers. Top with the baked chicken, chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and kalamata olives.
  6. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with feta cheese. Seal the containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs if preferred. Adjust cooking time as needed. For a vegan option, use tofu or chickpeas instead of chicken and a dairy-free yogurt for the sauce.
