Juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tbsp)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 cups cooked rice or quinoa
1 English cucumber, diced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, dill, salt, and pepper.

3. Cook rice or quinoa according to package directions and set aside.
4. Dice cucumber, halve tomatoes, and slice onion for toppings.
5. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
7. Assemble bowls with a base of rice, then top with chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and olives.
8. Crumble feta over top, add a generous dollop of tzatziki, and garnish with fresh herbs.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
Pat chicken dry before cooking for the best sear.
Let cooked chicken rest before slicing to retain juices.
Use a large bowl to assemble and mix easily.
