A vibrant and flavorful Greek-inspired bowl featuring tender chicken souvlaki, fluffy rice, fresh vegetables, and a creamy garlic sauce. Perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- For the Chicken Souvlaki:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Garlic Sauce:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Bowls:
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While chicken marinates, prepare the garlic sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes beforehand). Grill chicken for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred.
- To assemble bowls: Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top with grilled chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
- Drizzle with garlic sauce and garnish with fresh dill, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a low-carb option, substitute rice with cauliflower rice or mixed greens.
