Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 4 small chicken breasts chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Bowl Assembly
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups halved grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups diced or chopped cucumber
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup feta
Tzatziki
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill

Equipment

  • Shallow bowl or ziplock bag
  • Air fryer or skillet

Method
 

  1. Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade in a bowl.
  2. Pound the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick. Add the chicken to a shallow bowl or ziplock bag with the marinade.
  3. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.
  4. While the chicken marinates, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki and set the sauce aside.
  5. Prepare the rice and vegetables. You can add pitted olives to each bowl if you wish.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the chicken is done marinating, air fry on one side for 7 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for 3-4 more minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit.
  7. If you are not using an air fryer, heat a skillet with oil or butter over medium/low heat. Fry the chicken on one side for 7-8 minutes, then flip and fry the other side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit.
  8. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Assemble your bowls using the rice, vegetables, sliced chicken, and tzatziki. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice before serving.
