Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 1
    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2
    0.25 cup olive oil
  • 3
    2 tablespoons lemons
  • 4
    2 cloves garlic cloves
  • 5
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 6
    0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 7
    0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Bowl Components

  • 1
    1.5 cup cooked rice
  • 2
    1 medium cucumber
  • 3
    1 medium tomato
  • 4
    0.5 small red onion
  • 5
    0.5 cup kalamata olives
  • 6
    0.5 cup feta cheese
  • 7
    0.25 cup fresh parsley

Optional

  • 1
    1 tablespoon tzatziki sauce

Directions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

3

Preheat the Cooking Surface

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. If using a skillet, add a teaspoon of olive oil.

Cook the Chicken

Carefully place the marinated chicken on the preheated surface. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Ensure the chicken is fully cooked through and has a nice golden-brown color.

5

Rest and Slice the Chicken

Remove the cooked chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender. Afterward, slice the chicken into strips or cubes.

6

Prep the Veggies

While the chicken is cooking or resting, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Roughly chop the parsley.

7

Assemble the Bowls

In a bowl, assemble the Greek Chicken Bowl. Start with a layer of cooked rice. Add the diced cucumber, tomato, red onion, kalamata olives, and sliced chicken on top of the rice. Sprinkle feta cheese and fresh parsley over the bowl. Top with tzatziki sauce if using.

8

Serve Immediately

Serve immediately. You can drizzle extra olive oil or lemon juice if desired.

Recipe Tips

  • For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours.
  • If you don't have a grill, a cast iron skillet or regular pan works well too.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice or garlic to your liking.
  • Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the fridge. Consume within 3 days.
  • When handling raw chicken, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before and after touching the chicken to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Make sure chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer for food safety.
