Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb marinated chicken
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, bell peppers)
- 4 cups cooked quinoa or rice
- Olive oil (to drizzle)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley, dill) for garnish
Instructions
- Place a skillet over medium heat, add a small drizzle of olive oil if needed, and add the marinated chicken. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and nicely browned on the outside, turning occasionally.
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Fluff the cooked quinoa or rice in a bowl and divide it among serving bowls as the base. Warm them briefly if needed.
- Top each bowl of grains with the mixed vegetables. Add the sliced cooked chicken on top of the veggies.
- Add a generous spoonful of tzatziki over each bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Scatter chopped fresh parsley and dill over the bowls for an herbaceous finish. Serve immediately.
Notes
