Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    2. Cut the chicken breasts into evenly sized strips or cubes for better cooking.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and ground coriander.
  3. Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil.

    4. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken and toss to coat evenly, ensuring all pieces are well-seasoned.

  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

    5. Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned chicken to the pan in a single layer.

  5. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is fully cooked through.
  7. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the cucumber and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  8. Once the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  9. While the chicken rests, arrange the cooked rice as the base of each bowl.
  10. Top the rice with the sliced cucumber, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  11. Add the cooked chicken on top of the vegetables.
  12. Drizzle a generous amount of tzatziki sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
  13. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of everything.
  14. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for a refreshing touch.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
