Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare your base. Divide cooked rice or quinoa among 4 bowls.
  4. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Substitute chicken with grilled tofu for a vegetarian option.
