Description

Delicious Greek Chicken Bowls Recipe for a Healthy Meal

Ingredients

Scale
  • boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • juice of one lemon
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 cup brown rice or quinoa
  • cucumbers
  • tomatoes
  • red onions
  • olives
  • bell peppers
  • crumbled feta cheese
  • tzatziki sauce
  • fresh parsley or dill

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together ¼ cup of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
  2. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare your base. Cook 1 cup of brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once done.
  4. Dice cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions. You can also add olives or bell peppers for more variety. Toss them together in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt, and pepper.
  5. In a bowl, start with a scoop of your cooked rice or quinoa. Top it with sliced chicken, the chopped vegetable mixture, and a generous sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
  6. Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce for that authentic Greek taste, and garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired.
