Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra juiciness)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked basmati or jasmine rice or quinoa for a lighter option
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cucumber diced
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • 1 warm pita cut into triangles (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
