Ingredients

  • 700 g boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 English cucumber, diced
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • 0.75 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup store-bought tzatziki
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 pieces pita bread, warmed (optional)

Directions

  1. 1Whisk olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper; toss with chicken and marinate at least 10 minutes (or up to 24 hours refrigerated).
  2. 2Cook rice in chicken broth according to package directions; season with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  3. 3Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat; cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through; rest 3 minutes then slice.
  4. 4Combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and olives in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. 5Divide rice among 4 bowls; top with sliced chicken, Greek salad, crumbled feta, a generous spoonful of tzatziki, and fresh parsley.

💡 Store-bought tzatziki from the deli section works beautifully here. To make your own quickly, stir together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, half a grated cucumber (squeezed dry), 1 minced garlic clove, lemon juice, dill, salt, and olive oil.
