Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Juice of ½ lemon

For the Herb Tzatziki Feta

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Toss the cubed chicken breast with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 15 to 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  3. Prepare the Herb Tzatziki Feta Sauce: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, fresh dill, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined to form a creamy and flavorful sauce.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa in each bowl. Top with the cooked chicken, followed by diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives.
  5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the herb tzatziki feta sauce generously over the bowls and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Feel free to use cauliflower rice or mixed greens for a low-carb option.
  • The marinade can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning in the tzatziki feta to taste, adding more lemon or garlic as preferred.
  • Use fresh herbs for a bright, aromatic finish to the dish.
