Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended. Add the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
  2. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. Cook quinoa or rice according to package instructions. If using quinoa, it typically takes 15-20 minutes to become fluffy. Fluff and keep warm.
  4. Rinse and chop the vegetables. Arrange them on a platter for easy assembly. The vibrant colors will enhance the appeal of your bowls.
  5. Layer your bowls with a portion of quinoa or rice, sliced chicken, diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, and onions. Sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
  6. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the bowls and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve warm or chilled.
