Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and dried oregano to create a marinade. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and fresh dill in a bowl. Mix and let sit for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Cook the rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
  4. Cook the marinated chicken in an air fryer at 380°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden. If using a skillet, cook 5-7 minutes per side.
  5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips or bite-sized pieces.
  6. Assemble the bowls by starting with the rice or quinoa base, layering with fresh vegetables, chicken, and topping with tzatziki and a drizzle of olive oil.
