Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts; ¼ cup fresh lemon juice; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 cup quinoa, rinsed; 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth; 1 cucumber, diced; 1 bell pepper, diced; ½ red onion, thinly sliced; ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved; ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley; ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled; Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and feta cheese. Toss to combine.
Serve the lemon herb grilled chicken over a generous portion of quinoa salad. Garnish with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
