Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast and coat well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Cook basmati rice according to package instructions. Once done, fluff with a fork and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Halve the grape tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. For pickled red onions, soak the sliced onions in vinegar for 15 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice.

Assembly

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the basmati rice, shredded lettuce, grilled chicken, grape tomatoes, cucumber, and pickled red onions. Drizzle tzatziki sauce on top and serve immediately.
