Ingredients
Scale
Marinated Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Bowls:
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

- 1/4 cup kalamata olives (sliced)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top each with cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta. Spoon tzatziki sauce over the top. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh dill if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a low-carb version, substitute cauliflower rice.
- You can use store-bought tzatziki or make it from scratch with Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and dill.
