Description
A comforting and wholesome Greek Chicken Bowl featuring grilled chicken, fresh veggies, and a creamy tzatziki sauce, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the tzatziki sauce:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Allow the chicken to soak in those flavorful Mediterranean vibes for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken until it’s fully cooked—about 6-7 minutes on each side should do the trick. Once done, let it rest before slicing into juicy pieces.
- While the chicken is resting, let’s whip up the tzatziki sauce! In a bowl, mix one cup of Greek yogurt with the finely grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill (or mint), and lemon juice. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Assemble your Greek Chicken Bowls by layering cooked rice or quinoa at the base. Top it off with those beautifully grilled chicken slices and a colorful array of diced veggies—the cucumber, tomato, red onion, and bell pepper will add both texture and a splash of color!
- Lastly, drizzle generously with the tzatziki sauce and enjoy the delightful explosion of flavors!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To maintain moisture when reheating, add a splash of water.
