Ingredients

Greek Chicken

• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 Tbs garlic minced (Note, adjust to preference)
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tbs red wine vinegar
• 1 Tbs dried oregano
• 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Cucumber Salad

• 2 English cucumbers peeled and sliced
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 2 Tbs olive oil
• 1 Tbs red wine vinegar
• 1/2 Tbs minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Tzatziki Sauce

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 English cucumber finely diced
• 1 tsp - up to 1 Tbs minced garlic adjust to garlic preference
• 1/2 Tbs dill weed or 1 Tbs fresh dill, chopped fine
• 1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 tsp chopped fresh mint optional
• Salt and pepper to taste

The Rest

• 3 cups cooked brown rice
• 1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes halved
• 1/2 cup red onion slices

Instructions

• In a large plastic zip bag, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, greek yogurts and salt and pepper. Massage to mix.
• Add chicken into the bag.
• Massage to make sure chicken is full covered and marinate for at least 20 minutes, up to 12 hours.
• Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
• In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.
• I used my Anolon Skillet which I love because it heats evenly, is metal utensil friendly, and can be used in the oven up to 400 degrees.
• Add chicken when it is hot, and cook, flipping part way through. Cook approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Cooking time depends on thickness and size of the chicken. Cook until internal temp is 165 degrees.
• Remove from pan, and let cool.
• Once cool, cut into bite sized pieces. Just make sure you let it cool, or all the juice will run out.
• Meanwhile, make cucumber salad by chunking the cucumbers, and tossing in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Set aside
• Make tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill weed, lemon juice, lemon zest in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. And add mint (optional)
• Refrigerate while assembling your bowls.
• Cook brown rice according to package directions. When finished cooking, divide between meal prep containers, 1/2 cup in each container, halve cherry tomatoes, and mix with red onion slices. Divide amongst the bowls.
• Top with chicken, cucumber salad, and some tzatziki sauce.
• Keep for 3- 5 days in airtight container, serve cold!
