Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced
1 cup bell peppers, diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt to taste
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they're fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a large bowl, start by placing a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice. Top with sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, bell peppers, red onion, Kalamata olives, and avocado slices. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
Enjoy your Easy Greek Chicken Bowl immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
