Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by combining Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and spices in a mixing bowl. Add chicken, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken on a preheated grill or skillet for 6 to 8 minutes on each side until fully cooked at an internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. Prepare the base by rinsing and cooking rice or quinoa according to package instructions, about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep warm.
  4. Chop cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  5. Mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped dill to create tzatziki sauce. Season to taste.
  6. Assemble bowls with warm rice or quinoa, sliced chicken, chopped vegetables, and top with tzatziki sauce.
  7. Garnish with feta cheese and fresh herbs, serve immediately with warm pita bread if desired.
