Ingredients

Scale

**For the chicken:**

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1/2 lemon

**For the tzatziki sauce:**

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cucumber, grated and drained

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)

Salt and pepper to taste

**For the bowl:**

2 cups cooked white or brown rice

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup chopped cucumber

1/4 cup sliced red onion

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or overnight).

2. Cook chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.

3. For tzatziki, combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

4. Assemble bowls with rice, sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, feta, and a generous dollop of tzatziki.

5. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm or chilled.

Notes

Use store-bought tzatziki to save time.

Substitute quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.

Perfect for meal prep—store ingredients separately and assemble before eating.
