Greek Chicken Bowls with Tzatziki Sauce 🇬🇷
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped cucumber
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bowls:
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
1 red bell pepper, sliced and grilled
1/2 red onion, sliced and grilled
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
Grill the Chicken and Veggies: Grill the chicken over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Grill the red pepper and onion slices until softened and slightly charred.
Make the Tzatziki Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice or quinoa between two bowls. Top with the sliced chicken, grilled vegetables, feta cheese, and drizzle with the Tzatziki Sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips:
For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning.
You can use any type of cooked grain you like, such as brown rice or quinoa.
Serve the bowls with your favorite sides, such as pita bread or hummus.
