Marinating Chicken
  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and let them soak in the flavors for at least 15 minutes.
Cooking Chicken
  1. 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
  1. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt until smooth to make the sauce.
Assembling Bowls
  1. Prepare your bowls by laying down a base of cooked rice or quinoa.
  2. Top the base with the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and sprinkle with feta cheese.
  3. Drizzle the yogurt dill sauce over the top.
  4. 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.
