Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line baking sheet with foil.
Add chicken breasts to a large ziplock bag with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme; let marinate while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
Place cauliflower and broccolini florets onto baking sheet and generously drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, freshly cracked pepper, red pepper flakes and garlic powder; toss it around to evenly coat all pieces; roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
While the veggies are roasting, combine cooked quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, garlic, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, 1 T olive oil, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add more salt and pepper if needed, and transfer to the fridge to chill.
Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken breasts to skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, longer depending on the thickness of your chicken. When the chicken is cooked and no longer pink, wrap in foil for 5 minutes before cutting into cubes -This lets the chicken rest and helps to lock in the juices.
To assemble, add roasted veggies and quinoa tabouli to the bowls, followed by diced chicken, kalamata olives, feta cheese, a scoop of tzatziki and hummus, and garnished with parsley and a lemon wedge.
