Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 4 small chicken breasts about 1 ¼ pounds
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups halved grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups diced cucumber
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup sliced red onion
  • ½ cup feta

Tzatziki

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup grated cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade.
  • Pound the chicken to about ½ inch thick and add to a shallow bowl or ziplock bag with the marinade.
  • Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.
  • Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki and set aside.
  • Prep the rice and veggies.

Cooking

  • Once the chicken is done marinating, preheat your air fryer to 380°F and air fry on one side for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for 3-4 more minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • If you do not have an air fryer, heat a skillet with oil or butter over medium/low heat and fry on one side for 7-8 minutes, then flip and fry on the other side until golden and the temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes away from the heat, then slice.
  • Assemble your bowls with the rice, veggies, sliced chicken, tzatziki. Drizzle on some olive oil and lemon juice as well if desired.

Notes

I like to cook the rice or quinoa in chicken broth and then squeeze in some lemon juice, salt, pepper and fresh chopped parsley and chives for extra flavor.
