- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the rice among 4 bowls.
- Top each bowl with sliced chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, feta, and red onion.
- Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for meal prep.
Notes
- You can use store-bought or homemade tzatziki sauce.
- Great for meal prep — keep components separate until ready to eat.
- Feel free to add or swap veggies based on your preference.
