Creating your Healthy Greek Chicken Tzatziki Bowls is straightforward with these easy steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
2. Preheat Grill or Pan: Heat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the grill or skillet. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
4. Make the Tzatziki Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh dill, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
5. Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken is cooking, chop the cucumber, slice the tomatoes, and onion, and prepare the olives.
6. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of quinoa or brown rice. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top. Add diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, sliced red onion, and olives.
7. Add Tzatziki: Drizzle the tzatziki sauce generously over the bowl.
