Just made this for lunch and YUM. So easy but packed with flavor!!! Used marinated artichokes and Newman’s Greek dressing. Added some pepitas I had on hand. Next time I’m thinking feta or goat cheese. A KEEPER!!!

This was great! I could also this recipe being a good one to use up veggies or greens in the fridge that need to be used up ASAP. I subbed the chicken for a can of chickpeas, and subbed the quinoa for a bag of Aldi's 7-grain mix (prepackaged mix of quinoa, rice, millet, etc.) and used Aldi's version of the Olive Garden copycat Italian dressing and it tasted amazing!

Just made this for dinner. It was delicious &amp; so easy! I added corn, cucumbers and feta with some homemade Greek dressing. I will definitely be making this again. Yum!

In 1 month I have made this chicken recipe 6 times, this chicken recipe is very delicious.

This was so good!! I used all Aldi imgredients (knockoff Olive Garden vinaigrette, frozen protein burgers, premade quinoa garlic basil mix) and it was delicious and easy. These SOS meals are saving my butt right now in a very busy season of my life. Thank you for keeping me on track making healthy, homemade meals 💖 and encouraging me to buy the freaking premade dressing to make my life easier! I don't always have to make my own freaking vinaigrette!!!

Made this for lunch today and it was delicious! I used champagne vinaigrette that I had in the fridge and added some croutons for a little crunch. I didn’t tell my picky husband there were artichokes in it. He could see them but wasn’t sure what they were. He loved the salad and gobbled his all up but now that he knows there were artichokes in it he doesn’t want any leftovers. 🙄
