Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (for tzatziki)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced (for tzatziki)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for tzatziki)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for tzatziki)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill or mint, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for tzatziki)
  • 2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Make the Tzatziki Sauce: Grate cucumber and squeeze out excess liquid using paper towels. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh dill, and salt. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Prepare the Rice: Toss cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice with a drizzle of olive oil, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
  • Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of seasoned rice. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
  • Drizzle & Garnish: Spoon tzatziki sauce generously over the bowl and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with warm pita bread or naan on the side if desired.
