Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until it’s cooked through and juices run clear.
  2. Optionally, grill the chicken for those delightful grill marks and smoky flavor.
Making the Dressing
  1. While the chicken cooks, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Assembling the Bowls
  1. Begin with a base of quinoa or brown rice, followed by a generous scoop of mixed greens.
  2. Add diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion on top.
  3. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top.
  4. Sprinkle feta cheese and kalamata olives, if using.
Serving
  1. Drizzle your homemade dressing over the bowls and serve immediately.
