Instructions
Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Chop cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and herbs into bite-sized pieces.
Set aside the chopped vegetables in a bowl.
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and oregano in a bowl for marinade. Coat chicken in the marinade and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the chicken on medium heat for approximately 6-7 minutes per side until cooked and golden brown. Slice into strips.
Alternatively, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the marinated chicken for 20-25 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Slice after resting.
Assemble the bowl: Start with a layer of quinoa, add grilled or baked chicken, followed by the vegetable mixture.
