Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 0.5 red onion thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 0.25 cup kalamata olives pitted and sliced
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • fresh dill for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, toss the diced chicken breast with olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes if possible.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • While the chicken cooks, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Mix in finely chopped fresh dill.
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.
  • Assemble the bowls starting with cooked jasmine rice as the base. Layer chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta, and sliced kalamata olives. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh dill.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Reheat chicken and rice before assembling if storing leftovers.

Equipment

  • Cutting board and sharp knife
  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Serving bowls or meal prep containers

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
  • Store components separately for meal prep to maintain freshness and texture.
  • Substitute brown rice for a healthier option, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Grill the chicken instead of pan-frying for a smoky flavor.
  • Make homemade tzatziki for the freshest taste rather than using store-bought sauce.
