Greek Chicken Bowls

Print Recipe

A delightful combination of marinated chicken, vibrant veggies, and creamy tzatziki, perfect for a taste of the Mediterranean.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Feta cheese, for topping
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight if you can wait!).
  2. Cook the chicken: Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  3. Prepare the tzatziki sauce: While the chicken is cooking, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir until well combined. Refrigerate to let the flavors meld while you assemble the bowls.
  4. Assemble your bowls: Start by adding a base of cooked rice or quinoa to your bowl. Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top. Add in cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion around the chicken.
  5. Finish with feta and parsley: Crumble feta cheese over the top and garnish with fresh parsley for that burst of color and flavor.

Notes

Serve alongside lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and don’t forget the tzatziki sauce!
