Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or rice

  • 1 cup cucumber, chopped

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

For the Creamy Yogurt Sauce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken well.

  2. Cook chicken in a skillet or on the grill over medium heat until golden and fully cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side depending on thickness. Let rest before slicing.

  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare quinoa or rice and chop vegetables.

  4. In a small bowl, mix together all yogurt sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy.

  5. Assemble bowls with quinoa or rice as the base. Top with chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta.

  6. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Simple Swaps

  • Use chickpeas or tofu instead of chicken
