Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
  • 1 large cucumber (grated and drained)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (fluffy long-grain)
  • Diced cucumbers for toppings
  • Diced tomatoes for toppings
  • Thinly sliced red onion for toppings
  • Crumbled feta cheese for garnish
  • Kalamata olives for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade and coat thoroughly. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. While the chicken marinates, make tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed to remove excess moisture), minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and salt in a separate bowl. Chill until ready to use.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken thighs and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let rest before slicing.
  5. Assemble bowls by placing a serving of rice at the bottom, topped with sliced chicken, diced vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and generous dollops of tzatziki.
