Description
A vibrant and healthy Mediterranean-inspired bowl featuring marinated grilled chicken, fresh veggies, and a creamy garlic sauce, served over fluffy rice or quinoa.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- For the Garlic Sauce: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, Salt and pepper to taste
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 in the refrigerator.
- While chicken marinates, prepare the garlic sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes first). Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Assemble bowls by dividing cooked rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top with grilled chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. Drizzle with garlic sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
