Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup cucumber slices
1/2 cup pickled red onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber, finely grated and squeezed dry
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint

Instructions

Begin by marinading the chicken breast to infuse it with flavor. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Once your chicken has marinated, it’s time to cook! Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Grill or pan-fry the chicken for approximately 5–6 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing.
While the chicken is resting, prepare your tzatziki sauce! In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, finely grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill or mint, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To create your Loaded Mediterranean Chicken Power Bowl, start with a base layer of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Top it with slices of the grilled chicken, followed by cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, pickled red onions, and crumbles of feta cheese. Drizzle the creamy tzatziki sauce over everything.
Sprinkle the bowl with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For added protein, consider adding a boiled egg on top of your bowl. Be mindful of how much salt you add, especially if your feta and pickled onions are already salty.
