Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Chicken Bowls
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano until combined. Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and fresh dill in a separate bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and chill.
  3. Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions, typically boiling water, adding grains, and simmering until tender (15-20 minutes).
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Cook marinated chicken for 7 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  5. Slice the cooked chicken and assemble the bowls with rice or quinoa, sliced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and bell peppers topped with chicken and tzatziki.
