Greek Chicken & Quinoa

My boyfriend and I are currently in the process of moving, so we haven't bought a lot of groceries lately. When I was looking through our kitchen deciding what to make for dinner, I came up with a simple idea that I thought was worth sharing. I really wanted something full of veggies for dinner, but we don't have any fresh veggies, so I opted to just cram this dish full of frozen spinach. What's great about this recipe is that you can add/take stuff out to your liking. For example: if I had a purple onion or some fresh tomatoes, those would have definitely gone in. Anyways, on to the recipe!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
*Two chicken breasts
*One cup dry quinoa
*Spinach (fresh or frozen)
*Feta Cheese
*Olive Oil
*Greek Dressing (I made my own, but bottled is fine as well)
*Kosher Salt
*Greek Seasoning
*Lemon Pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While it's preheating, line a pan with foil, drizzle a little Olive Oil in it, and place the chicken breasts on top. Add kosher salt, Greek seasoning, and lemon pepper to taste. Bake in oven for about 30 minutes until it's cooked all the way.

While your chicken is baking, cook your quinoa according to the directions on the box. I bought pre-rinsed quinoa, but if yours is not, you will have to rinse it before you start everything.

Once your quinoa is fully cooked, add your spinach (or other veggies), and some of the spices to add flavor throughout the dish.

Stir thoroughly and let sit until veggies are cooked all the way through.

Place the quinoa on the plate and top with feta cheese, chicken, and some Greek dressing.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe! Let me know if you tried it and how you liked it/any variations you made :)
