Flavor-Packed Greek Chicken Bowls

Ingredients:

Chicken:

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 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Bowl:

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

Tzatziki:

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

Directions:

Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade.

Pound the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick and add to a shallow bowl or ziplock bag with the marinade. Let marinate for at

least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.

Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki and set aside.

Prep the rice and veggies. A Greek bowl will traditionally have olives, but I’m not a big fan so I left them out. Feel free to add

some pitted olives to each bowl as well!

Once the chicken is done marinating, preheat your air fryer to 380°F and air fry on one side for 7 minutes, then flip and cook

for 3-4 more minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

If you do not have an air fryer, heat a skillet with oil or butter over medium/low heat and fry on one side for 7-8 minutes,

then flip and fry on the other side until golden and the temperature reaches 165°F.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes away from the heat, then slice.

Assemble your bowls with the rice, veggies, sliced chicken, and tzatziki. I like to drizzle on some olive oil and lemon juice as

well! Also delicious with a drizzle of lemon tahini dressing. Enjoy!
