  1. In a bowl whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness and coat them in the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In another bowl mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and dill to make the tzatziki sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions and prepare all vegetables.
  5. Cook the marinated chicken in an air fryer at 380°F for about 10 minutes or in a skillet until cooked through and golden.
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
  7. Assemble the bowls by adding rice or quinoa first, then vegetables, sliced chicken, feta cheese, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice and herbs for the most authentic Greek flavor.
Letting the chicken marinate longer enhances the taste significantly.
These bowls are excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days.
