1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper.

2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

3. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until fully cooked.

4. Let the chicken rest, then slice into strips.

5. In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed dry), garlic, lemon juice, dill or mint, and salt to make tzatziki. Chill until ready to serve.

6. Add cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base in each serving bowl.

Notes

– You can substitute quinoa with farro, couscous, or cauliflower rice.

– To make it dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt and feta alternatives.

– Tzatziki keeps well for up to 3 days in the fridge.

– Use grilled shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas for a vegetarian/alternative protein version.

– Meal prep tip: Store each component separately for freshness.
