Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and ensure they are well-coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Chicken

  • Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F). Let rest before slicing.

Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

  • Mix yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Dice the Fresh Veggies

  • Chop cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.

Slice the Cooked Chicken

  • Once the chicken is cooked and rested, slice it into strips or chunks.

Assemble the Bowls

  • Layer sliced chicken, fresh veggies, and crumbled feta in bowls. Top with tzatziki sauce.

Serve or Store

  • Serve immediately or pack for meal prep. Store everything separately for best results.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the grill. Prepare tzatziki ahead of time for improved flavor. Feel free to customize veggies based on your preference.
