  • • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • • 2 teaspoons oregano, dried
  • • 1 tablespoon garlic

  • • 2 mini seedless cucumbers, sliced (½ cucumber, sliced per container)
  • • 4 oz light feta (1 oz per container)
  • • 20 olives (5 olives in each container)
  • • 2 -3 tablespoons tzatziki sauce


  • Tzatziki Sauce
  • • 1 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • • 1 english cucumber, finely diced
  • • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • • Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Start by cooking 1½ cups quinoa in 3 cups water, a splash of olive/avocado oil and salt – follow cooking instructions on packaging.
  2. While quinoa cooks, cut 2 lbs. chicken breast (usually two large breasts) into 1 inch pieces and put brown in 1 tablespoon avocado oil on the stove.
  3. When chicken is halfway cooked, add 2 teaspoons oregano, 1 tablespoon garlic and juice from 1 lemon.
  4. While the chicken and quinoa cook, start prepping the other ingredients – halve 16 tomatoes, slice 2 mini seedless cucumbers, divide 4 oz light feta and add 5 olives. Note - if you don’t want the veggies to be heated up with the Greek Bowls, make sure to pack them in a separate container
  5. Once the chicken and quinoa are cooked, it’s time to assemble the bowls. Divide the chicken into 4 equal parts and place in the containers. Then using a ⅓ measuring cup, scoop quinoa into bowls. (All the other toppings should already be in the containers)
  6. Lastly, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 mini seedless cucumber, finely diced, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill and salt and pepper, to taste.
  7. Divide into 4 containers and add to bowl when ready to eat. Enjoy!
