Ingredients

300 g Kvarg (quark) 0.2% fat
Protein Source
300 g Chicken breast, boneless, skinless
Protein Source
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp Dried oregano
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
0.5 cup Cucumber, sliced
1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
0.25 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
1 tbsp Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the chicken breast pieces with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.

2

While the chicken cooks, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3

Divide the kvarg evenly between two serving bowls, spreading it as a base.

4

Once the chicken is done, remove from the oven. Arrange the roasted chicken, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives on top of the kvarg in each bowl.

5

Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing generously over the bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

💡 Pro Tip

For an extra fiber boost, add a handful of cooked quinoa or chickpeas to the bowls. You can also meal prep the chicken and dressing ahead of time for even quicker assembly.
