Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well in the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

Prepare the Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine basmati rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl or plate, layer the cooked rice as the base. Top with sliced chicken, diced cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.

  2. 5

    Add Tzatziki Sauce

    Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top of the bowl. Serve immediately, enjoying the fusion of flavors!
