Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 4 small chicken breasts chicken breasts about 1 1/4 pounds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Bowl Components
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 cups cucumber diced or chopped
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup red onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Skillet
  • Shallow bowl or ziplock bag
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade in a bowl.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick. Place the chicken in a shallow bowl or ziplock bag with the marinade. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.
  3. While the chicken marinates, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki sauce in a separate bowl and set aside.
  4. Prepare your rice or quinoa and chop all the vegetables for the bowls.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 7 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. If you do not have an air fryer, heat a skillet with oil or butter over medium-low heat. Fry the chicken on one side for 7-8 minutes, then flip and fry on the other side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Assemble your bowls by layering the cooked rice or quinoa, prepared vegetables, and sliced chicken. Top with tzatziki sauce. You can add a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice if desired.
