Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
Rice
Toppings
Sauce
Marinating the Chicken
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
Cooking the Rice
3. Rinse the Rice
Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
4. Cook the Rice
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
5. Fluff the Rice
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Cooking the Chicken
6. Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
7. Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Preparing the Sauce
8. Mix the Sauce Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Assembling the Bowl
9. Layer the Ingredients
In a bowl, start with a base of fluffy rice, top with sliced chicken, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
10. Drizzle with Sauce
Finish by drizzling the prepared sauce over the top and sprinkling with chopped fresh parsley.
