1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon dill weed, dried

HOW TO MAKE GREEK CHICKEN BOWLS

Greek Chicken & Marinade:

Step 1: Add the raw chicken in a large ziplock bag and the marinade ingredients on top. Seal the bag, then massage the marinade into the chicken breasts. In a bowl, place the bag and in the fridge for at least 30 minutes up to 8 hours.

Step 2: After marinating, take the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess. With a paper towel, dab the chicken breasts to remove only a bit of the extra marinade.

Step 3: Drizzle a tsp olive oil in a large skillet and heat over medium. Add the chicken to the hot oil and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 degrees. Set the cooked chicken aside when done and allow to rest for at least 8 to 10 minutes before slicing it up into strips.

Greek Cucumber Salad:

Step 1: Into a bowl, add the salad ingredients and mix to combine.

Greek Chicken Bowls:

Step 1: To each bowl, add half a cup of rice, 3/4 cup cucumber salad, and 4 oz. Diced chicken if eating right away. If desired, top each bowl with extra feta.

Step 2: To meal prep, simply combine the chicken and rice and place in a separate container the cucumber salad.
