A tasty quinoa bowl with Greek type hen, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta and tzatziki!
I’m a fan of ‘bowls’ the place you throw a grain, equivalent to rice or quinoa, a protein and different elements right into a bowl to make a full meal! Burrito type bowls are considered one of my go-to meals and these Greek/Mediterranean bowls one other. The protean for these bowls is hen that’s marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano earlier than being cooked. Though rice works nicely right here, I choose quinoa which takes about the identical period of time to prepare dinner. The bowls are crammed out with tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, olives, feta, and tzatziki sauce (hyperlink) (a tasty Greek type cucumber sauce).
