Instructions
Creating your Easy Healthy Greek Chicken Bowls is straightforward. Follow these steps for an amazing meal:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. While it heats up, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill or pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
3. Let It Rest: Once done, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This keeps it juicy when slicing.
4. Prepare the Base: While the chicken rests, divide the cooked quinoa or brown rice among serving bowls.
5. Chop the Vegetables: Dice the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and onion while the chicken is resting.
6. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken breasts into strips or cubes.
7. Assemble the Bowls: On top of the quinoa or rice, arrange the sliced chicken, chopped vegetables, olives, spinach or mixed greens, and crumbled feta.
8. Drizzle with Tzatziki: Finish the bowls by topping with tzatziki sauce and any remaining olive oil, if desired.
9. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the bowls for added flavor and presentation.
