Ingredients

Scale

For the Greek Chicken

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Garlic Feta Sauce

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or couscous
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Cucumber, diced
  • Red onion, thinly sliced
  • Kalamata olives
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Pita wedges for serving
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss well to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator to infuse the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the marinated chicken strips in the pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through and has a light char. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Garlic Feta Sauce: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, plain Greek yogurt, finely grated garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked rice, quinoa, or couscous among serving bowls. Top each with cooked chicken strips, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and shredded lettuce. Drizzle with the creamy garlic feta sauce.
  5. Serve: Garnish the bowls with fresh parsley and serve alongside warm pita wedges for a delicious and complete meal.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes to enhance flavor; longer marination yields more tender, flavorful chicken.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for juicier meat.
  • The creamy feta sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Use gluten-free grains like quinoa or rice if needed to keep the dish gluten-free.
  • Adjust salt according to the saltiness of your feta cheese.
  • Warm the pita wedges before serving for best texture and flavor.
