Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Greek Chicken Bowls
  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Pound the chicken breasts to about ½ inch thickness, add to the marinade, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Tzatziki: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped cucumbers, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dill. Stir well and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Cook the Rice or Quinoa: In a saucepan, cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions, generally taking about 15-20 minutes. Chop your fresh vegetables during this time.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Cook marinated chicken for 7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest and Slice the Chicken: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of rice or quinoa, layer fresh chopped vegetables and sliced chicken, then top with tzatziki, a drizzle of olive oil, and lemon juice.
