Delicious and healthy Greek Chicken Bowls marinated in a zesty blend of flavors and served with fresh vegetables, rice or quinoa, and a creamy tzatziki sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

4 small chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

2 cups halved grape or cherry tomatoes

2 cups diced or chopped cucumber

4 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1 cup sliced red onion

1/2 cup feta

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup grated cucumber

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill

2 tablespoons fresh parsley

finely chopped


Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
  • Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove chicken from the marinade and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake chicken for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • While chicken is baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and dill in a bowl.
  • To assemble the bowls, divide rice or quinoa among four bowls, then layer with shredded romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, sliced chicken, and feta.
  • Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

You can customize the veggies in the bowl based on your preference. The yogurt sauce can be made a day ahead for richer flavor.
