Instruction

  • In a large plastic zip bag, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, greek yogurts and salt and pepper. Massage to mix.
  • Add chicken into the bag.
  • Massage to make sure chicken is full covered and marinate for at least 20 minutes, up to 12 hours.
  • Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
  • In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • I used my Anolon Skillet which I love because it heats evenly, is metal utensil friendly, and can be used in the oven up to 400 degrees.
  • Add chicken when it is hot, and cook, flipping part way through. Cook approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Cooking time depends on thickness and size of the chicken. Cook until internal temp is 165 degrees.
  • Remove from pan, and let cool.
  • Once cool, cut into bite sized pieces. Just make sure you let it cool, or all the juice will run out.
  • Meanwhile, make cucumber salad by chunking the cucumbers, and tossing in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Set aside
  • Make tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill weed, lemon juice, lemon zest in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. And add mint (optional)
  • Refrigerate while assembling your bowls.
  • Cook brown rice according to package directions. When finished cooking, divide between meal prep containers, 1/2 cup in each container, halve cherry tomatoes, and mix with red onion slices. Divide amongst the bowls.
  • Top with chicken, cucumber salad, and some tzatziki sauce.
  • Keep for 3- 5 days in airtight container, serve cold!
