For this particular recipe we added the works, but feel free to add or take away any of the veggies to fit what the needs, likes and what's available. This recipe is also completely gluten free, but if gluten is not an issue, experiment with other types of grains and or pasta. The chicken marinade is really versatile, the Greek yogurt helps make the chicken flavorful and tender. For the quinoa salad, we kept things pretty simple and just drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper, and oregano. Also, try mixing in other dressings like Greek, a lemon garlic dressing, or even a red wine vinaigrette for extra flavors. Make it your own! The yogurt sauce, which is Tzatziki minus the cucumbers, brings a tangy and bold flavor to complete this dish. Everything about this dinner is simple, easy, delicious, and nutritious! Every bite is loaded with the works and is packed with flavor and freshness.
