Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the chicken marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and paprika in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken by grilling, baking, or pan-searing until fully cooked and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Let rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, fresh dill, mint, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Chop all vegetables - cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and bell peppers. Slice Kalamata olives.
  5. Cook your choice of grain base (rice, quinoa, or couscous) according to package directions.
  6. Assemble bowls by starting with the grain base, then adding sliced chicken, fresh vegetables, and olives. Top with tzatziki sauce and serve.

Notes

For meal prep, store components separately to prevent sogginess. The flavors improve as they marinate together. Serve at room temperature for best taste experience.
