Ingredients
- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa or rice
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 Cucumber, diced
- 1 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- Tzatziki sauce to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Let the chicken rest before slicing.
- Prepare the bowls: Layer cooked quinoa or rice in a bowl, top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Serve and enjoy: Mix everything before eating or serve layered for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
Letting the chicken marinate longer enhances the flavor; overnight is ideal if you have the time.
