  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cucumber, diced
– ½ red onion, thinly sliced
– ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
– ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
– 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
– ½ cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


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.

These steps will guide you in making a delicious and healthy meal that everyone will enjoy!
