Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, sliced
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Marinate the Chicken Start by preparing the chicken. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  2. Step 2: Cook the Chicken Once marinated, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce While the chicken is cooking, make the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, fresh dill, and salt. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Bowls Now for the fun part—assembling your bowls! Start with a base of cooked brown rice or quinoa, then layer on cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Add a handful of chopped romaine lettuce for extra crunch.
  5. Step 5: Add the Chicken and Sauce Top each bowl with sliced grilled chicken and drizzle with the tzatziki sauce. You can also add an extra squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for more flavor.
  6. Step 6: Enjoy! Your Healthy Greek Chicken Bowls are ready to serve! Grab a fork and dig in while everything is fresh and flavorful.
