Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa (substitute with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option)
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Tzatziki sauce (for serving; homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, coating them well. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
- Chop the Veggies: While the chicken cooks, prepare the tzatziki sauce and chop cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and bell pepper.
- Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa. Top with grilled chicken slices, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and feta cheese.
- Finish with Tzatziki: Drizzle tzatziki sauce over each bowl before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
