Amazing Greek Chicken Bowls With Tzatziki

Prepare the chicken marinade by whisking together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.

Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick and add them to the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to a few hours.

While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and fresh dill in a bowl. Set aside.

Cook the rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Optionally, cook in chicken broth and add lemon juice, salt, and fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Once the chicken is done marinating, preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Air fry the chicken for 7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If using a skillet, heat oil or butter over medium-low heat and cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into strips.

Assemble the bowls by layering rice or quinoa, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and add extra olive oil or lemon juice if desired. Optionally, add feta cheese on top.
