Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade

  • 0.5 cup olive oil
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Chicken

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Toppings

  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 0.5 cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.25 cup chopped red onion

Tzatziki Sauce

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 cup grated cucumber peeled and seeded
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 0.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  • While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly browned.
  • Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with the cooked chicken, chopped cucumber, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and red onion.
  • Drizzle with the prepared tzatziki sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade. You can also add other favorite Mediterranean vegetables like bell peppers or artichoke hearts.
