Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Bowl:
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cucumber (diced)
- 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours in the fridge).
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice or quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. Add a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley or dill and serve immediately.
