Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 lb small chicken breasts (4)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (if you like a little heat)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Bowl Filling:

  • 4 cups romaine lettuce (shredded )
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (cut in halves)
  • 2 cups cucumber (diced )
  • 2 cups white rice (cooked)
  • 1 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
  • ½ cup feta (optional)

Tzatziki Sauce:

  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt (or low fat sour cream)
  • ½ cup cucumber (grated )
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon salt ( to taste)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade.
  2. Step 2: Pound the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick and add to a shallow bowl or ziplock bag with the marinade.
  3. Step 3: Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki and set aside.
  5. Step 5: Prep the rice and veggies.
  6. Step 6: After the chicken has finished marinating, set your air fryer to 380°F. Cook the chicken for about 7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Step 7: If you don’t have an air fryer, heat a skillet with some oil or butter over medium-low heat. Fry the chicken for 7-8 minutes on one side, then flip and continue cooking until golden brown and the internal temperature hits 165°F.
  8. Step 8: Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Step 9: To assemble your bowls, start with rice, add veggies, and top with the sliced chicken and tzatziki. I love to finish mine with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice, or you can use my lemon tahini dressing for extra flavor. Enjoy!
