  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

To create these Greek Chicken Bowls, you’ll need a handful of fresh, flavorful ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to gather:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Feel free to substitute the rice with quinoa or couscous if you’d like, or swap out the chicken for tofu for a vegetarian option. The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility, allowing you to cater to your family’s tastes and dietary needs.

Instructions

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they’re well coated. Let them marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours if you have the time.
  2. While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Set them aside.
  3. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
  4. Assemble the bowls by dividing the rice among four bowls. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  5. Finish with a generous drizzle of tzatziki sauce and a sprinkle of chopped parsley if desired.

There you have it! A delightful meal that’s ready in no time and sure to bring smiles to the dinner table.
