Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt full fat
  • 1/2 cucumber grated and squeezed dry
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice for tzatziki
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1/2 red onion thin sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbled

Method
 

  1. **Marinate.** Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, dijon, salt, and pepper. Toss with chicken thighs. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. **Rice.** Cook jasmine rice per package directions.
  3. **Tzatziki.** Stir Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Chill.
  4. **Sear.** Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken thighs for 5 to 6 minutes per side until charred and cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  5. **Chop.** Toss cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil.
  6. **Assemble.** Divide rice into 5 bowls. Top with sliced chicken, Greek salad mix, and a dollop of tzatziki.
  7. **Serve.** Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and extra oregano.

Notes

Store components separately in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat chicken and rice in the microwave. Add cold sides and tzatziki fresh. Grate and salt the cucumber for tzatziki, then squeeze it very dry.
