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
Marinate the chicken in lemon, oregano, 1 tbsp oil and seasoning 15 minutes.
- 2
Cook the quinoa; spread on a tray to cool fast.
- 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
Build 5 boxes: quinoa, chicken, roast veg, olives.
- 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.
