Marinating and Cooking
  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the quinoa by rinsing it, then cooking it with water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes.
  3. Cook the marinated chicken on a grill or skillet for approximately 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  4. Make the veggie medley by tossing together the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, lemon juice, and parsley in a bowl.
  5. Assemble the bowls with a scoop of quinoa, topped with sliced chicken and the veggie medley, and sprinkle with feta.
  6. Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce on top if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
