Swap the quinoa: If you prefer a different grain, brown rice, couscous, or farro are great alternatives.
Vegetarian version: Skip the chicken and add extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms. You can also substitute the chicken with chickpeas or tofu for a plant-based option.
Cheese options: If feta isn’t your favorite, try goat cheese, parmesan, or even shredded mozzarella for a creamy touch.
Add some crunch: Toss in some toasted nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to give the dish an extra texture and flavor boost.

How can I make this spicier? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or toss in a finely diced jalapeño with the vegetables for a spicy kick.
