Greek Style Chicken & Rice Bowl

Ingredients

  • For the Chicken
  • For the Tzatziki
  • For the Greek Salad
  • For the Rice

Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. Clean chicken breasts and add to a plastic bag.

  2. Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper to the bag.

  3. Move the chicken around in the bag to ensure it is evenly coated.

  4. Place in the fridge while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

  5. Ideally, marinate the chicken as long as possible, so if you can plan to marinate overnight or a few hours ahead of time, that is best.

Tzatziki

  1. Peel the cucumber and grate it over a fine mesh strainer placed over a bowl.

  2. Let the cucumber sit in the strainer to release excess liquid.

  3. Removing the water from the cucumber is important because it will make the tzatziki watery.

  4. Add the Greek yogurt, finely chopped dill, and lemon juice to a bowl.

  5. Add the grated cucumber and mix to combine.

  6. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Greek Salad

  1. Add the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and red wine vinegar to a bowl.

  2. Mix to combine and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Rice

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions.

  2. When finished cooking, stir in lemon juice and parsley.

Chicken

  1. Pan sear chicken for color on both sides.

  2. Finish in a 350°F oven until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

To Plate

  1. Add rice, sliced chicken breast, tzatziki, and Greek salad to a bowl.

  2. Garnish with more parsley and thinly sliced lemon.
