Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Cucumber, grated
- 2 Tomatoes, diced
- 1 Red onion, chopped
- 2 cups Rice or quinoa
- Fresh herbs like parsley or dill, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat them well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat your grill or grill pan, and cook the marinated chicken for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
- Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water. Mix with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and herbs to prepare the tzatziki sauce.
- Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions and fluff with a fork. Adjust the seasoning with salt or lemon, if desired.
- Assemble the bowls by starting with a base of rice or quinoa and topping with sliced chicken, diced tomatoes, chopped cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle tzatziki sauce on top and garnish with herbs.
- Serve immediately, optionally with lemon wedges.
Notes
Make this dish ahead of time by marinating the chicken in the morning. Tzatziki can be prepared a day in advance, but store chopped veggies separately to avoid sogginess.
