Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

1/4 cup fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Juice of 1 lemon

1/3 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Bowls: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa or rice, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and chopped herbs.

        Assemble: Divide the quinoa/rice mixture among serving bowls. Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top. Drizzle with lemon juice and add a dollop of tzatziki sauce.

          Serve: Enjoy your Easy Healthy Greek Chicken Bowls with additional lemon wedges on the side for extra zing!
