Creating the Greek Chicken Rice Bowl with Feta & Avocado is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Rice: While the chicken is marinating, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
