Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated in the mixture. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, whip up the creamy tahini dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, additional lemon juice, minced garlic, optional maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water, continuing to whisk until the dressing reaches a smooth and pourable consistency. Set it aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
- Assemble your Mediterranean Chicken Bowl by placing a generous serving of cooked quinoa at the bottom of each bowl. Top with slices of chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and kalamata olives.
- Drizzle the tahini dressing over each bowl and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley on top. Your Mediterranean Chicken Bowl is now ready to serve!
