2 pounds chicken thighs, 3 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 medium lemon, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cook chicken. In a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil and then the chicken. Cook chicken, turning occasionally after searing all sides, until done. It should be cooked to 165 degrees on a digital thermometer.
Cook quinoa. Combine quinoa and chicken broth in an instant pot. Cook at high pressure for one minute and then do a natural release for 10 minutes. You can also cook quinoa on your stove top according to package directions.
1 cup quinoa
Prepare bowls. Divide the hummus between four bowls, smearing it along the bottom of each bowl. Add the cooked quinoa, chicken, sliced veggies, olives, and feta cheese. Top with tzatziki sauce if desired!
