Instructions
Preparing the Greek Lemon Chicken Bowl with Mint Goddess Sauce can be broken down into easy-to-follow steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Mint Goddess Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Cook the Quinoa or Rice: Prepare quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions, which will serve as the base of your bowl.
4. Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard any excess. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
5. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is resting, prepare the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Arrange them on the side or on top of your base.
6. Slice the Chicken: Once rested, slice the grilled chicken into strips.
7. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer your cooked quinoa or brown rice. Top with sliced chicken, the fresh vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
8. Drizzle with Mint Goddess Sauce: Generously drizzle the Mint Goddess Sauce on top of the assembled bowl.
9. Garnish: Finish with a wedge of lemon on the side.
10. Serve: Enjoy your meal warm or at room temperature!
