Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • For the Tzatziki Sauce:
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. While chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top with the cooked chicken, chopped cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
  5. Drizzle generously with the prepared tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before serving to maintain freshness.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished bowls for extra brightness.
  • Consider adding a handful of spinach or mixed greens to the bowls for added nutrients.
