Greek Chicken & Quinoa Prep Boxes

Lemon-herb chicken over quinoa with roasted courgette, olives and feta — a Mediterranean lunchbox that holds its texture all week.

Ingredients

  • 700g chicken breast
  • Juice & zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ cups quinoa (dry)
  • 2 courgettes, chunked
  • 1 red onion, wedged
  • ½ cup olives
  • 100g feta
  • Salt & pepper

Method

  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken in lemon, oregano, 1 tbsp oil and seasoning 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the quinoa; spread on a tray to cool fast.

  3. 3

    Roast the courgette and onion at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes; grill the chicken 6–7 minutes a side and slice.

  4. 4

    Build 5 boxes: quinoa, chicken, roast veg, olives.

  5. 5

    Cool, lid, refrigerate within 2 hours; crumble feta on when eating.

Swaps & variations

  • Halloumi or chickpeas instead of chicken
  • Bulgur or brown rice instead of quinoa
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes

Storing & freezing

Fridge 3–4 days airtight. Keep feta and any dressing separate until eating so nothing softens.
