???? Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Grill, pan-sear, or bake the marinated chicken until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

Step 3: Make the Tzatziki (Optional)

In a small bowl, combine all tzatziki ingredients. Stir well and chill until ready to use.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

In individual serving bowls, layer cooked rice or quinoa, sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta. Add sliced avocado if using. Drizzle with tzatziki and garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.
