Directions

  1. Marinate

    Toss chicken with olive oil, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and salt. Rest 15 minutes while you prep the vegetables.

  2. Cook

    Sear chicken in a hot skillet 5 to 6 minutes per side, until browned and 165°F. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. Make the sauce

    Mix yogurt, half the feta, dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Thin with water as needed.

  4. Season the rice

    Fold a squeeze of lemon and a spoonful of dill into warm rice.

  5. Assemble

    Divide rice, chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, and remaining feta. Add sauce just before eating.

Why it worksKeeping sauce separate protects meal-prep texture.

Swaps & notes

Easy swaps

  • Use quinoa, couscous, or greens instead of rice.
  • Swap chicken for chickpeas or salmon.
  • Soak sliced red onion in cold water 10 minutes to soften its bite.

Cook notes

  • For the best browning, wipe excess marinade from chicken before it hits the pan.
  • Add vegetables only after rice cools slightly to keep them crisp.

Storage

Meal-prep in airtight containers up to 4 days, with sauce in separate cups.

Questions

Can I grill the chicken?

Yes. Grill over medium-high heat roughly 5 minutes per side.

Is feta sauce the same as tzatziki?

No. This one is richer and cheesier; add grated, squeezed cucumber for a tzatziki-style version.

Can I freeze the bowls?

Freeze chicken and rice only. Add fresh vegetables and sauce after thawing.
