Greek Chicken Bowls Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Chicken Marinade:

    • 1 pound chicken breast, cubed

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • Juice from 1 lemon

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

    • Salt & pepper to taste


  • Tzatziki Sauce:

    • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

    • 1 cucumber, grated

    • 1 clove garlic, minced

    • Juice from 1/2 lemon

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • Salt & pepper to taste


  • For the Bowls:

    • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

    • 1 cucumber, diced

    • 1/2 red onion, sliced and soaked in water for 5 minutes

    • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives

    • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

    • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add cubed chicken and mix to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together all the tzatziki ingredients. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  4. Assemble the Bowls: Add a scoop of rice or quinoa to each bowl. Top with cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
