Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade
  • 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can swap with bone-in chicken for a richer taste
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil Can be substituted with avocado oil
  • 2 pieces Lemons (juice) Lime juice works in a pinch
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) Garlic powder can serve as a backup
  • 2 teaspoons Dried oregano Fresh oregano can be more vibrant
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
For the Bowl Assembly
  • 1 cup Cooked quinoa or rice Any gluten-free grain can be used instead
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved) Grape tomatoes are a great alternative
  • 1 piece Cucumber (diced) Zucchini can be used for a different texture
  • 1 piece Red onion (thinly sliced) Sweet onion provides a milder flavor
  • 1 cup Feta cheese (crumbled) Vegan feta is an excellent substitute
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley (chopped) Basil can be a fragrant alternative
For the Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup Tzatziki sauce Homemade or store-bought

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Grill or Skillet
  • Saucepan

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill or skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Remove marinated chicken, let excess marinade drip off, and cook each side for 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare your base by cooking quinoa or rice as per package instructions, typically combining 1 cup of grain with water, boiling, then simmering covered for 15-20 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork.
  4. Chop fresh vegetables: dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Finely chop fresh parsley if using.
  5. In a bowl, start with cooked quinoa or rice as the base, arrange sliced marinated chicken on top, and add chopped vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. For meal prep, store components in separate airtight containers.
