Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • salt and black pepper to taste

For the dairy-free tzatziki:

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt or almond-based yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber (grated and squeezed dry)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint
  • salt to taste

For the bowl:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup chopped romaine or baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives (halved)
  • 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup hummus (optional)
  • 1/4 avocado (sliced)
  • fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. For the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to overnight). Cook chicken in a hot skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
  2. For the dairy-free tzatziki: Combine coconut yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Assemble bowls: Create a base with quinoa or rice, topped with greens, chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, avocado, and a dollop of tzatziki and/or hummus. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

  • This bowl is ideal for meal prep—just store components separately and assemble before eating.
  • Swap quinoa for cauliflower rice for a lower-carb version.
  • Coconut yogurt gives the tzatziki a light tang without dairy.
