Description
A vibrant bowl filled with marinated chicken, roasted vegetables, and creamy tzatziki, celebrating the flavors of the Mediterranean.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- Optional: crumbled feta cheese, kalamata olives, lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, turning to coat them thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for maximum flavor).
- Prep the veggies: While the chicken marinates, chop your bell peppers, red onions, and zucchini. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until its internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
- Roast the vegetables: In a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C), spread the marinated vegetables on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Assemble the bowls: In meal prep containers, layer the sliced chicken, roasted veggies, a generous scoop of tzatziki, and a helping of fresh chopped cucumbers and romaine lettuce.
- Garnish and serve: Top with crumbled feta cheese, kalamata olives, or a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Customize with seasonal veggies for variety.
