Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Chop cucumber, halve tomatoes, thinly slice onion, and dice bell pepper. Organize ingredients in small bowls.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional oregano or smoked paprika. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.

Cooking

  • Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Cook chicken undisturbed in the skillet for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembly

  • Layer warm quinoa or rice at the bottom of each bowl. Add sliced chicken, then scatter with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and bell pepper.
  • Dollop tzatziki generously over the top, sprinkle with parsley, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a lemon wedge.

Enjoy

  • Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of flavors.

Notes

Store components separately to prevent sogginess; tzatziki lasts 3-4 days in the fridge. Reheat separately for best texture.
