Ingredients
- For the chicken marinade:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the bowl base:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
- For toppings:
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup cucumber (diced)
- ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup Kalamata olives (sliced)
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best flavor.
-
Grill or sear chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.
-
Prepare your grain base (rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice).
-
Assemble bowls by layering grain, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta.
-
Top with a generous dollop of tzatziki and a sprinkle of parsley or dill.
-
Serve immediately or store components separately for meal prep.
Notes
- Make it low-carb by using cauliflower rice.
- For extra flavor, add sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers.
- Great for meal prep—store everything separately and assemble fresh.
- Use dairy-free tzatziki and skip feta for a dairy-free version.
