Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups cooked quinoa
- 10 ounces good-quality store bought hummus
- Israeli Salad (recipe below)
- Tahini Sauce (recipe below)
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Parsley, chopped, for garnish
for the Israeli Salad
- 1 cucumber, peeled and seeds removed, finely diced
- 2 plum tomatoes, peeled and seeds removed, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
for the Tahini Sauce
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1 clove garlic
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and a big pinch of Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper in a ziploc bag. Add chicken, toss to coat, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight*.
- When ready to eat, preheat grill over medium-high heat and grill chicken breasts until just cooked through. Let cooked chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Divide cooked quinoa between 4 bowls. Topped with sliced grilled chicken, a spoonful of hummus, Israeli salad, a generous drizzle of tahini sauce, and a sprinkle of feta cheese and parsley. Devour immediately.
for the Israeli Salad
- Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and season with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated (although the cucumbers and tomatoes texture will change a bit), make sure to stir well before serving.
for the Tahini Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Season with Kosher salt. If a thinner consistency is desired, add a little more water. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to a week.
Notes
*I marinate the chicken before going to bed the night before, and then by the time you are ready to grill your chicken the next day, it's FULL of flavor.
