Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
  • 2 bell peppers (chopped)
  • 1 medium red onion (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by washing the quinoa and chopping vegetables.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until fragrant (about 3 minutes).
  3. Add seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet, searing each side until golden brown (approximately 5 minutes per side).
  4. Stir in chopped bell peppers, diced tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Cook for another 5 minutes until veggies are tender.
