Instructions

1. Marinate chicken: Combine chicken with olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook chicken: Grill, pan-fry, or bake chicken until cooked through. Let rest for 5-10 minutes, then dice or slice.
3. Prepare optional dressing: Whisk lemon juice with olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper.
4. Prepare yogurt sauce: Combine Greek yogurt with dill, mint, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Assemble bowls: Start with a base (quinoa, rice, or greens). Top with cooked chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and olives. Sprinkle with feta cheese.
6. Finish and serve: Drizzle with dressing (if using) and top with a dollop of yogurt sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Gently reheat chicken if desired, or serve cold. Yogurt sauce and dressing are best served cold.
