Ingredients

Chicken:

4 small chicken breasts (about 1 ¼ pounds)

¼ cup olive oil

1 tbsp lemon zest

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp garlic powder

1 ½ tsp dried oregano

1 ½ tsp dried basil

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

½ tsp red pepper flakes

Bowl:

2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

2 cups halved grape or cherry tomatoes

2 cups diced cucumber

4 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1 cup sliced red onion

½ cup feta cheese (or vegan feta)

Tzatziki:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)

½ cup grated cucumber

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp minced garlic

¼ tsp salt (or to taste)

1 tbsp fresh chopped dill


Instructions

  1. Whisk together all chicken marinade ingredients. Pound chicken to ½ inch thickness and coat with the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Prepare the tzatziki by mixing all ingredients in a bowl; set aside.

  3. Cook rice or quinoa, and prep vegetables. Optionally, add olives.

  4. Air Fryer: Cook chicken at 380°F for 7 minutes on one side, flip, and cook 3–4 more minutes until 165°F internal temperature.
    Stovetop: Cook chicken in a skillet with oil/butter over medium-low heat, 7–8 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked.

  5. Let chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice.

  6. Assemble bowls with rice/quinoa, veggies, sliced chicken, and tzatziki. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice or lemon-tahini dressing.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, cook rice or quinoa in chicken broth and add a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, pepper, and fresh chopped parsley or chives.
  • These bowls store well for meal prep. Keep chicken separate if planning to serve cold.
  • Swap ingredients to suit dietary needs: dairy-free, low carb, or plant-based.
