  • Add chicken pieces, and combine well to completely coat the chicken, cover and marinate for a minimum 30 minutes, to 4 hours, refrigerated.
  • Once marinated, allow chicken to sit room temp for about 10 minutes, then:
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for about 7-8 minutes, stirring until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, make the Tzatziki sauce by whisking all ingredients in a small bowl very well; cover set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Divide cooked quinoa equally between 4 glass meal prep containers, 1/2 cup in each.
  • Add in equally to each bowl as shown in my photos: chopped veggies, olives, chicken and cubed feta cheese and a spoonful of Tzatziki sauce.
  • Keep refrigerated for 3-5 days in airtight container.
  • This is perfect for serving cold! Enjoy!
