- 2 cups cooked chicken breast
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup cooked quinoa
- Fresh dill
- Lemon juice
In a small mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with freshly squeezed lemon juice and chopped fresh dill. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the dressing and adjust the amount of lemon juice or dill according to your preference. Set the yogurt mixture aside while preparing the remaining ingredients.
If the quinoa has not already been prepared, cook it according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it gently with a fork to separate the grains and allow it to cool slightly before assembling the bowls.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cool water, pat them dry, and cut them in half to make them easier to eat and distribute evenly throughout the bowls.
Slice or shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. If using refrigerated chicken, you may serve it cold or warm it gently in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, depending on your preference.
Divide the cooked quinoa evenly among four serving bowls, creating a nutritious and satisfying base for each portion.
Top each bowl with equal portions of the cooked chicken breast, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes. Arrange the ingredients separately for an attractive presentation or gently combine them if preferred.
Spoon the prepared lemon-dill Greek yogurt mixture generously over each bowl, ensuring every serving receives an even amount of the creamy, protein-rich dressing.
Garnish with additional fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for meal prep, storing the yogurt dressing separately until ready to enjoy for the freshest results.
