Cooking
  1. Grill or cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked through, about 6–8 minutes per side.
Tzatziki Preparation

Assembly
  1. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and slice it into strips.
  2. In a bowl, layer cooked rice or quinoa at the bottom. Top with sliced chicken, fresh veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion), feta cheese, and drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Greek Chicken Bowls!

Notes

Ensure the chicken is at room temperature before marinating for even flavor distribution. Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken is cooked to 165°F for safety. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain juices. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
