Instructions

Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, coat well, and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours for best flavor).
Cook the Chicken:
Heat a cast-iron skillet, grill pan, or air fryer to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Let it rest, then slice.
Prepare the Base:
Cook your rice or cauliflower rice and divide it evenly between 4 serving bowls.
Assemble the Bowls:
Top each bowl of rice with sliced chicken. Add diced cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, romaine, and olives. Add a dollop of tzatziki.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with crumbled feta if using, and garnish with lemon wedges and fresh dill. Serve immediately or store for meal prep.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free yogurt to make your own tzatziki.
Add extra veggies like bell peppers, avocado, or shredded carrots for even more texture.
Chicken can also be grilled outdoors for extra smoky flavor.
Store assembled bowls without tzatziki and fresh toppings for up to 4 days in the fridge.
