Description
Tender, marinated chicken skewers served over fluffy rice with fresh veggies and a creamy, tangy garlic sauce for a vibrant and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pita bread or lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Meanwhile, prepare the garlic sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Assemble bowls by dividing rice among four bowls. Top with grilled chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with garlic sauce and serve with pita bread or lemon wedges if desired.
