Scale
Chicken Marinade
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Bowl Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add bite-sized chicken pieces and toss until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours to develop flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Add Tzatziki and Garnish: Drizzle each bowl generously with tzatziki sauce and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately for a fresh and vibrant meal.
