Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken Quinoa Greek Salad

This refreshing variation elevates the classic Greek salad by adding protein-packed quinoa and tender herb-roasted chicken. It is finished with a zesty homemade lemon-oregano vinaigrette that perfectly complements the crisp vegetables and creamy feta cheese.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 English cucumber, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

  3. 3

    Toss the diced chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Roast the chicken for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden edges appear. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

  5. 5

    While the chicken and quinoa cool, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, remaining 1 teaspoon of oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dressing.

  6. 6

    In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, roasted chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and olives.

  7. 7

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

  8. 8

    Top with crumbled feta cheese just before serving.
