Ingredients

For the Chicken Souvlaki

2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
to taste salt and black pepper
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 medium cucumber, diced
1/4 cup red onion, sliced
1/4 cup kalamata olives
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

For the Yogurt Dill Sauce

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
to taste salt

Method

Marinating Chicken

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and let them soak in the flavors for at least 15 minutes.

Cooking Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 8–10 minutes until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Preparing Yogurt Dill Sauce

In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt until smooth to make the sauce.

Assembling Bowls

Prepare your bowls by laying down a base of cooked rice or quinoa.
Top the base with the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and sprinkle with feta cheese.
Drizzle the yogurt dill sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For even more flavor, let your chicken marinate for a few hours or ideally overnight. You can grill the chicken on skewers for a smoky flavor or use an air fryer for a healthier option. Customize your bowl with seasonal vegetables or substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free options as needed.
