Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken cooks, chop the cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and red onion.
- Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among bowls. Top with sliced chicken, chopped vegetables, crumbled feta, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with extra olive oil or tzatziki sauce if desired.
Notes
- Marinate longer: For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken for 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh dill or parsley enhances the Mediterranean taste.
- Add a sauce: Tzatziki or a lemon-garlic yogurt sauce pairs perfectly.
- Meal prep friendly: Store components separately for easy assembly later.
