Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Marinade
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Bowl
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup hummus
- ¼ cup tzatziki sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 to 8 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. Make sure there is no pink inside before removing from heat.
- Assemble the Bowls: Begin with a base of cooked rice in each bowl. Then top with cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Add a generous dollop of hummus and tzatziki sauce on the side of each bowl.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the assembled bowls for an herbaceous finish. Serve the Greek Chicken Bowls warm and enjoy a fresh taste of Mediterranean flavors.
