Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Chicken Bowls
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, and your favorite seasonings to create a flavorful marinade. Pound the chicken to 1/2 inch thickness for even cooking and coat it in the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, make the tzatziki by combining Greek yogurt, finely diced cucumber, minced garlic, and dried herbs. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Prepare your rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Bring water to a boil, add the grains, and simmer until tender—about 15-20 minutes for rice, 12-15 for quinoa.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken in the fryer basket and cook for 7 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. To assemble, start with a scoop of the cooked rice or quinoa, layer on fresh vegetables, slice the chicken, and drizzle with tzatziki. Finish with olive oil and lemon juice.
