Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless chicken breast
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (15g) divided
  • salt and pepper, to taste to taste
  • 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 2 cups cooked basmati rice (for serving) I used Uncle Ben's
  • Greens like romaine, arugula, or mixed, optional for serving
  • Tzatziki optional for serving

For Tomato Feta Cucumber Salad:

  • 1 medium english cucumber, diced (300g)
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered (283g) I used multi-colored
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced (120g)
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped (16g)
  • 4- oz. fat free feta cheese (120g)
  • 1 Tbsp 15g of EACH: olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 Tbsp za'tar seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Tomato Feta Cucumber Salad:
    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, dijon mustard, za'tar seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Then add in the diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and feta cheese. Toss until all the veggies are coated in the marinade.
  • Prepare the Greek Chicken:
    Trim the chicken. If you have thick breasts, cut the chicken breasts in half (like you're butterflying but all the way) and beat with a mallet to even out the chicken's thickness.
    Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, undisturbed. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F. Cooking time will always depend on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
    When finished, transfer chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and add to bowl or store in an airtight container.
  • To Assemble:
    For more volume (optional), add greens of choice to the bottom of the bowl first.
    Then add the cooked rice, chicken and tomato cucumber salad. Add 1/5 of chicken (75g), 3/4 cup cooked rice (125g), and 1/5 of salad (180g).
    Top with Tzatziki or other dressing of choice, if desired, and enjoy!
