Chicken Tzatziki Bowls
Enjoy something delicious and satisfying with this easy-to-make recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenderloin
- 1 .5 oz bag rice 240 grams, Ben's Original Ready Jasmine
- 1 1/2 cups tzatziki dip 12 fl oz, easy
- 6 cups romaine lettuce 210 grams, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomato 110 grams, halved
- 1 1/2 cups cucumber 180 grams, sliced
- 1 cup feta cheese 112 grams, fat free, crumbled
- Pickled red onion optional
Marinade
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt 2 fl oz, plain, non-fat
- 1/4 cup olive oil (2 fl oz)
- 1 lemon juiced and zested
- 1 tsp rosemary dried
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp oregano
Instructions
- Whisk marinade ingredients until well combined, then pour over chicken tenderloins in an airtight container, massaging the marinade to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- After the chicken has marinated, pre-heat a grill to 400°F. Once grill is pre-heated, bunch up a paper towel with a pair of grill tongs, dip it in a bowl of vegetable oil (you need the higher smoke point of vegetable oil as opposed to olive oil), and then run it over the hot, clean grill grates to create a nonstick surface.
- Allow excess marinade to drip off the chicken before placing it in a single layer on the grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken tenderloins, until cooked through. Remove from grill and set aside to rest.
- While the chicken rests, prepare rice according to package directions, then divide into 4 serving bowls.
- Layer lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers on top of the rice. Add whole or chopped grilled chicken, then top with feta cheese, tzatziki dip, and pickled red onions (if desired).
