Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 pieces lemons, juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano For a touch of warmth, consider using fresh oregano.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowls

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 piece cucumber, diced
  • 1 piece red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade) For convenience, a good quality store-bought tzatziki sauce can save you time.

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Cook the Chicken

  • Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The juices should run clear.

Prepare the Quinoa or Rice

  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare quinoa or rice according to package instructions.

Chop the Vegetables

  • In a mixing bowl, combine chopped cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped parsley.

Assemble the Bowls

  • Once everything is cooked, slice the chicken into strips. In each bowl, layer quinoa or rice, top with the grilled chicken, and add the vegetable mix. Crumble feta cheese on top and drizzle with tzatziki sauce.

Serve Warm

  • Enjoy the bowls warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or skillet.
