Creating Greek Chicken Bowls is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. Slice the Chicken: Once cooled slightly, slice the chicken into strips.
5. Prepare the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or rice at the bottom. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor and color.
7. Add Tzatziki Sauce: Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top if desired for extra creaminess.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Greek Chicken Bowls while fresh!
