Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade.
  • Pound the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick and add to a shallow bowl or ziplock bag with the marinade.
  • Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.
  • Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki and set aside.
  • Prep the rice and veggies.
  • After the chicken has finished marinating, set your air fryer to 380°F. Cook the chicken for about 7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, heat a skillet with some oil or butter over medium-low heat. Fry the chicken for 7-8 minutes on one side, then flip and continue cooking until golden brown and the internal temperature hits 165°F.
  • Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • To assemble your bowls, start with rice, add veggies, and top with the sliced chicken and tzatziki. I love to finish mine with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice, or you can use my lemon tahini dressing for extra flavor. Enjoy!
