Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  3. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

Step 3: Make the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and dill. Chill until ready to serve.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

  1. Divide rice or quinoa among 4 bowls.
  2. Top with chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta.
  3. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Low-Carb Option: Swap rice for cauliflower rice or a salad base.
  • Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free yogurt for tzatziki and skip feta.
  • Meal Prep: Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
