Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small chicken breasts (about 1¼ pounds)
  • ¼ cup olive oil (for marinade)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for marinade)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1½ teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for marinade)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 2 cups cucumber (diced)
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce (shredded)
  • 1 cup red onion (sliced)
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup cucumber (grated, for tzatziki)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for tzatziki)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for tzatziki)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (for tzatziki, or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Create the Marinade: Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl until well combined.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 3/4 inch using a meat mallet.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for best results).
  4. Whip Up the Tzatziki: Mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and fresh dill in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Cook the Grains: Cook the rice or quinoa according to package directions while chopping the tomatoes, cucumber, romaine lettuce, and red onion.
  6. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F.
  7. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange in the air fryer. Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  8. Let it Rest: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top each bowl with fresh vegetables, sliced chicken, tzatziki sauce, and feta cheese.

Notes

For deeper flavors, marinate the chicken longer. Adjust herbs and seasoning to your taste.
