Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cucumber (diced)
  • 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

For the Creamy Tahini Feta Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (to thin)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: Blend or whisk together feta, tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and enough water to reach a pourable consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice or quinoa between four bowls. Top each with cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta. Drizzle with creamy tahini feta sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Make it low-carb by substituting cauliflower rice.
  • Add hummus or pita chips for extra Mediterranean flair.
  • The sauce also works great as a dip or salad dressing.
