# Instructions:
01 -
Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade.
02 -
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.
03 -
Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki and set aside.
04 -
Prep the rice and veggies.
05 -
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.
06 -
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.
07 -
Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
08 -
To assemble your bowls, start with rice, add veggies, and top with the sliced chicken and tzatziki. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice, or use lemon tahini dressing for extra flavor. Enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For a low-carb option, substitute cauliflower rice for white rice.
02 -
The tzatziki sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
