Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Chicken Bowls
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat them fully in the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill or large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare your base by cooking quinoa or rice according to package instructions. Fluff the cooked grains and keep warm.
  4. Chop cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, and slice the red onion while the chicken rests. Enjoy the vibrant colors.
  5. In serving bowls, layer the cooked grains at the bottom. Top with sliced chicken, chopped vegetables, feta cheese, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce. Finish with parsley.
