Ingredients

½ cup feta cheese crumbled
½ cup kalamata olives sliced
1 medium red onion diced
1 medium english cucumber chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
2 lb chicken thighs marinated and cooked using this Greek chicken recipe
1 cup TZATZIKI Sauce for dressing using half of this tzatziki sauce recipe

Instructions

Cook quinoa: Place 2 cups of water into a sauce pan with 1 cup of quinoa, season with salt to taste, bring it to a gentle boil. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until quinoa is cooked thru.
Cook chicken according to this Greek chicken recipe. Slice it up. Make tzatziki sauce using this tzatziki sauce recipe.
Into the bowl add cooked quinoa, chicken thighs, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives and red onion. Add tzatziki sauce and crumbled feta, drizzle olive oil and sprinkle black pepper. Garnish with dill and enjoy!

Notes

Marinate the chicken for at least 12 hours; overnight gives the best flavor.
Always marinate chicken in the refrigerator.
Squeeze excess liquid from grated cucumber for thick, creamy tzatziki.
Chicken thighs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 170°F.
Use hummus instead of tzatziki for a dairy-free option.
Store-bought tzatziki is a quick and easy time-saving option.
