Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup hummus (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

For the Tzatziki:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill (fresh or dried)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Grill or sauté the chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  3. Prepare the Tzatziki: In a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and salt. Chill until ready to use.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice or quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta. Add a dollop of tzatziki and hummus if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, substitute cauliflower rice.
  • This bowl is great for meal prep—store components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
