Ingredients
Scale
- 600 g boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- For the bowls:
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- For the tzatziki sauce:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken evenly.
- Cook chicken in a skillet or grill over medium heat until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
- In a small bowl, combine all tzatziki ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Assemble bowls with rice, sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta.
- Drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce and serve immediately or store for meal prep.
Notes
- Prep these bowls in advance for quick weekday meals — store components separately to keep textures fresh.
- Swap rice for quinoa for extra protein or use cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
- To keep it dairy-free, omit feta and use dairy-free yogurt in the tzatziki.
- Add chili flakes to the marinade if you like a bit of heat.
- For thicker tzatziki, drain excess water from the grated cucumber more thoroughly and chill the sauce before serving.
