  3. Thread the chicken onto 3 skewers, season and grill over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, turning, until cooked through.
  4. Whisk the remaining oil and vinegar with salt and pepper and toss with the sliced cucumber, halved tomatoes and onion.
  5. Divide the quinoa among 3 bowls and top with the salad, tzatziki, crumbled feta, olives and a skewer.
  6. Keeps 4 days in the fridge with the tzatziki packed separately. Reheat the chicken and quinoa for 90 seconds.
