A wholesome dish featuring marinated chicken breasts, vibrant vegetables, and a zesty lemon drizzle, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 piece lemon (juiced and zested)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 piece cucumber (diced)
  • 1/4 piece red onion (sliced)
  • Feta cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, combine the juice and zest of the lemon, chopped dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix this well, and then place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
  3. While the chicken is resting, it’s time to prepare our vibrant salad mix. In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced red onion. Drizzle a little olive oil, add a pinch of salt, and toss everything together for that fresh crunch.
  4. Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips. Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Start with a base of quinoa or rice, top it with that beautiful veggie mix, and lay the sliced chicken on top. Crumble some feta cheese over it if you’re feeling indulgent.
  5. Finally, finish with a little extra squeeze of lemon over the top for a burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy each vibrant bite of your homemade Lemon-Dill Chicken Bowls!

Notes

These bowls can stand on their own, but also pair wonderfully with roasted vegetables or a light green salad. Reheat the chicken gently to avoid drying it out.
