Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl, toss chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes while prepping vegetables.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (just starting to smoke). Add chicken in a single layer and cook, tossing or stirring constantly, until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and spinach or arugula. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice. Toss to coat.
Divide cooked brown rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top each with an equal amount of the vegetable mixture and chicken.
Sprinkle feta cheese over each bowl. Serve immediately.
