Method
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 3/4 inch using a meat mallet.
- Place chicken in a shallow dish or resealable bag, pour marinade over it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for best results).
- Make tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess moisture first), lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and fresh dill in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cook rice or quinoa according to package directions. While cooking, chop all vegetables - tomatoes, cucumber, romaine lettuce, and red onion.
- Preheat air fryer to 380°F.
- Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
- Cook chicken for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Assemble bowls by dividing rice or quinoa among four bowls, topping with fresh vegetables, sliced chicken, tzatziki sauce, and feta cheese.
Notes
Store components separately for best results. Chicken and tzatziki keep for 3-4 days refrigerated. Cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months. Can substitute chicken thighs (cook 12-14 minutes) or use grill/oven if no air fryer available.
