These simple greek chicken bowls pack a lot of flavor and textures into one easy to make meal. These bowls are perfect for meal prep, loaded with veggies and homemade tzatziki.

Ingredients

  • 4 small chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tabespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 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
  • 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

  1. 1

    Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    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!

  6. 6

    Once the chicken is done marinating, preheat your air fryer to 380 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 Fahrenheit.

  7. 7

    If you do not have an air fryer, heat a skillet with oil or butter over medium/low heat and fry on side for 7-8 minutes, then flip and fry on the other side until golden and the temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit.

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

    Assemble your bowls with the rice, veggies, sliced chicken, tzatziki. I like to drizzle on some olive oil and lemon juice as well! Also delicious with a drizzle of my lemon tahini dressing. Enjoy!
