Print Recipe

A vibrant and wholesome Lemon-Herb Chicken Nourish Bowl featuring tender grilled chicken, fresh herbs, and nutrient-packed veggies for a balanced and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Avocado slices, for topping (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  5. Assemble the bowls by dividing quinoa, spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley between serving bowls.
  6. Top with sliced grilled chicken, avocado slices, and feta cheese if using.
  7. Drizzle any remaining marinade or extra lemon juice over the bowl before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, garnish with toasted pine nuts or a dollop of hummus. This bowl is perfect served warm or chilled for meal prep.
