  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce

Enjoy tender juicy chicken, crisp cucumbers, and tangy feta cheese over fluffy quinoa. This fresh and healthy meal prep option is perfect for busy weekdays.


Method :

  1. Cook the quinoa in chicken broth according to package directions, then let it cool completely.
  2. In a bowl, toss the cubed chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Assemble 4 meal prep containers by dividing the cooked quinoa and chicken equally among them.
  6. Add equal amounts of diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese to each container.
  7. Store the tzatziki sauce in separate small containers and drizzle over the bowls just before serving.

Recipe Notes :

Chef Pro Tip: Keep the tzatziki sauce in a separate small container so the fresh vegetables stay crisp. Variation: Swap the quinoa for brown rice or a bed of romaine lettuce for a low-carb option. Storage Tip: Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
