  • Large bowl

  • Small bowl

  • Food processor

  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 large cucumber, diced

  • 2 tomatoes, diced

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 1 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped

  • Juice of 2 lemons

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1/4 cup tahini

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Salt to taste

  • Water, as needed

Instructions

1

Marinate and Grill the Chicken

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Set aside to rest.
2

Prepare the Quinoa Tabbouleh

  • In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, parsley, and mint.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over the quinoa mixture and toss to combine.
3

Make the Hummus

  • In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt. Process until smooth.
  • Add water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4

Assemble the Dish

  • Slice the grilled chicken breasts.
  • On a large serving platter, arrange a portion of quinoa tabbouleh, slices of grilled chicken, and a dollop of hummus.
  • Garnish with extra parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of paprika on the hummus if desired.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with warm whole wheat pita bread or a side of mixed greens dressed with a simple vinaigrette.
