Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Marinate Chicken: In a large ziplock bag, combine chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Seal and massage gently; refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for intense flavor.
  • Cook Chicken: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches a golden brown color and an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing.
  • Prepare Cucumber Salad: In a bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers, diced tomatoes, olives, red onion, crumbled feta, olive oil, white wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss everything well to marry the flavors.
  • Assemble Bowls: To build your Greek Chicken Bowls, layer 1/2 cup of cooked white rice, followed by 3/4 cup of refreshing cucumber salad, and top each bowl with 4 oz of sliced marinated chicken.

Notes

Drizzle with a bit of extra olive oil for added richness. Perfect for meal prep, store ingredients separately to maintain freshness.
