03 - 1 tablespoon honey
04 - 1 garlic clove, minced
05 - 2 teaspoons dried oregano
06 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
07 - Kosher salt, to taste
08 - Kosher pepper, to taste

09 - 1 1/2 cups uncooked quinoa
10 - 2 cups water

11 - 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 lbs, 32 ounces)

→ Vegetable Toppings

12 - 1 English cucumber, diced
13 - 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
14 - 1 medium red onion, diced

→ Final Toppings

15 - 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
16 - 1 cup pitted kalamata olives

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine quinoa and water in a small saucepan with a generous pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until tender. Drain any excess water if necessary, and set aside to cool.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, kosher salt, and kosher pepper.
03 - Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring all sides are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
04 - After marinating, grill or pan-sear chicken breasts over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for several minutes, then slice.
05 - Dice English cucumber, chop Roma tomatoes, and dice red onion. Set aside along with crumbled feta cheese and pitted kalamata olives.
06 - Divide cooked quinoa evenly among bowls. Arrange sliced chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and olives over the quinoa. Drizzle with any remaining dressing if desired. Serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight if time permits.
