Ingredients

Scale

For the Quinoa:

  • 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
  • 2 cups vegetable stock

For the Sheet Pan Greek Chicken and Veggies:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Greek seasoning
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium red onions, sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained
  • 1/2 bunch kale, cut into ribbons

For Topping:

  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce and/or hummus
  • Other toppings: black or kalamata olives, feta cheese, fresh herbs

Instructions

For the quinoa:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine onion, garlic and quinoa. Add stock and bring to a boil over over medium heat.
  2. Lower heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

For Sheet Pan Greek Chicken and Veggies:

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Season chicken breasts liberally with Greek seasoning. Whisk lemon juice, red wine vinegar and 2 tbsp of the olive oil and place chicken into the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes. 
  2. Toss bell pepper and onion slices with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.
  3. Place chicken on a sheet pan lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat. Spread peppers and onions on the sheet pan around the chicken in a single layer. Cook 20 minutes.
  4. Remove the sheet pan and spread the kale and chickpeas around the chicken. Stir and return to the oven for 10-15 more minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove from the oven and slice the chicken on a cutting board.

For Bowls:

  1. While chicken and veggies are cooking, prepare tzatziki sauce and cut tomatoes and cucumbers.
  2. Assemble bowls by adding cooked quinoa to the bottom of bowls. Top each with roasted veggies and chickpeas, sliced chicken, cucumber, tomato, and tzatziki or hummus, along with any additional toppings you're using.

Notes

  • This recipe is great for using leftover quinoa. It will save you a step!
  • Feel free to use raw baby spinach or other greens in place of the roasted kale.
  • Make these bowls with whatever you have and whatever suits your taste. Get creative with your grains, toppings, etc!
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up the 3 days, keeping raw veggies and tzatziki sauce separate so that they don't get soggy.
