Rinse quinoa under cold water until water runs clear.

Cook quinoa in a pot with water over medium heat until boiling, then reduce to low and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

While quinoa cooks, marinate chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and oregano for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Remove chicken from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Chop cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley into bite-sized pieces.

In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, chopped vegetables, and sliced chicken.

Crumble feta cheese and add kalamata olives on top of the bowl.

Drizzle with additional olive oil and lemon juice if desired.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Toss gently to combine all ingredients before serving.
