A fresh and vibrant dish featuring marinated chicken, creamy feta, and chickpeas, perfect for any meal time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or dill) for garnish
  • Cooked quinoa or rice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisking the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinating the Chicken: Marinate the chicken breasts in the mixture for at least 15 minutes, making sure they’re nicely coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Preparing the Base: While the chicken is marinating, prepare quinoa or rice if you choose to serve this dish with a grain. Cook according to package instructions and set aside.
  4. Cooking the Chicken: Cook the marinated chicken on a grill or in a skillet over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
  5. Resting and Slicing: Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips for easy serving.
  6. Mixing the Bowl Ingredients: In a serving bowl, mix together chickpeas, feta cheese, and your choice of fresh herbs for a touch of green and freshness.
  7. Final Assembly: Add the sliced chicken on top of the chickpea and feta mixture, and serve with quinoa or rice if desired for a hearty meal.

Notes

Allowing the chicken to marinate longer (up to an hour) can enhance the flavor even more. Using pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken can speed up the preparation.
