Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Then slice the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle each bowl with a quarter cup of tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a refreshing finish.
Serve the bowls warm or chilled according to your preference. Enjoy immediately or store components separately for meal prep.
