Instructions

Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and add the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, cook your rice according to package instructions or, if using, prepare quinoa.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and grill each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
As the chicken cooks, whisk together the tzatziki sauce ingredients in a bowl.
After resting for a few minutes, slice the chicken into strips and layer it over the cooked rice or quinoa in bowls. Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.
Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Feel free to swap out the chicken for chickpeas or grilled veggies for a vegetarian option. Consider marinating the chicken overnight for extra flavor.
