Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast/Thighs, cubed
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

  4. Divide cooked quinoa or rice among bowls and arrange the diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chicken atop.
