Ingredients

Scale

For the Greek Chicken

  • 1 1/2 lbs (680g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowl Base

  • 3 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the diced chicken to the marinade and toss thoroughly to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours refrigerated for deeper flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken pieces are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, finely grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh dill if using, and salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked jasmine or basmati rice evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, shredded romaine lettuce, and crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Drizzle and Serve: Spoon generous amounts of the garlic yogurt sauce over each assembled bowl. Serve immediately while everything is fresh and warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade.
  • Substitute rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Fresh dill in the garlic yogurt sauce is optional but adds a nice herbaceous note.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftover components can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
