Instructions

First thing you need to do is make the marinade. Combine all of the marinade ingredients except the Dijon mustard in a bowl

In a small bowl add 1/4 cup of the marinade along with the Dijon mustard. Whisk to combine and set aside.This will be the vinaigrette for the quinoa after you cook it

Put the chicken into a ziplock bag and pour the remaining marinade into the bag. Close the bag and make sure the marinade gets all over the chicken

While the quinoa is cooking heat up a large skillet over medium high heat with a drizzle of oil

Add the marinated chicken into the pan and cook on both sides until cooked through

While the chicken and quinoa are cooking make the tzatziki sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside

Once the quinoa is cooked pour the vinaigrette over it and mix to combine

Now it’s time to finally assemble! In a shallow bowl add in a scoop of the quinoa. Top it with the cooked chicken, tzatziki, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, roasted red peppers, crumbled feta, and more chopped fresh dill

That’s it! The BEST dinner you’ll have in a long time. Opa!
