Greek Chicken

  • 1½ pounds chicken breast sliced in half
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Greek Cucumber Salad

  • 2 cups chopped English cucumber
  • 4 Roma tomatoes seeded and chopped
  • 23 Kalamata olives halved
  • ¼ small red onion finely diced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions
 

  • In a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken with lemon juice, white wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
  • Pat the chicken lightly with paper towels.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing into strips.
  • In a large bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, olives, red onion, feta, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir until evenly combined.
  • Assemble the Greek Chicken Bowls by adding cooked rice, sliced chicken, and the cucumber salad to serving bowls.
  • Garnish with extra feta if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs if you prefer juicier meat.
  • Add roasted chickpeas for extra texture.
  • Serve with warm pita bread or tzatziki sauce.
  • Store cucumber salad separately to keep it crisp for meal prep.
