Instructions

  • For the Greek Chicken Bowl:
  • Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  • Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked white rice into serving bowls. Top each bowl with cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and flavorful Greek Chicken Bowl.
