  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • Red onion, thinly sliced
  • Feta cheese crumbles
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Greek tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Start by marinating the chicken with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Grill the chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked and nicely charred, about 6-8 minutes per side. Alternatively, use a Ninja Air Fryer Pro for crisp texture. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  3. In each bowl, start with a base of cooked quinoa or rice. Top with sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and feta cheese.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley and drizzle generously with creamy tzatziki sauce to complete the dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours in advance.
  • Customize your bowls with additional toppings like olives, roasted red peppers, or chopped nuts for added texture and taste.
  • Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat the chicken before assembling bowls.
