Print Recipe

A healthy, quick, and flavorful meal featuring succulent chicken, fresh cilantro, zesty feta, and vibrant vegetables. Perfect for any time of day and easily customizable to suit various dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the marinated chicken by grilling, pan-searing, or baking at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes or until it reaches 165°F (75°C) internally.
  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the base: cook quinoa or rice according to package instructions or use leafy greens for a lighter option.
  4. For the cilantro feta sauce, blend chopped cilantro, crumbled feta, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil until smooth. Thin with water or lime juice if needed.
  5. Assemble the bowl: Start with the base, add sliced or diced chicken, and arrange cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion around it.
  6. Drizzle with the cilantro feta sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro, lime wedges, or toasted nuts and seeds for added crunch.

Notes

Customize with different grains, proteins, or dairy-free alternatives. Prep ingredients ahead for quick assembly during busy days. Add chili flakes for extra heat or swap chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version.
