1/4 cup red onion, diced small
19 -
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
20 -
1/3 cup kalamata olives
21 -
2 cups brown rice, cooked
22 -
1 cup chopped cucumber

# Instructions:
01 -
Whisk all the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl until they're combined. Toss in the chicken pieces and let them soak up the flavors for about 30 minutes.
02 -
As the chicken is marinating, mix together the tzatziki ingredients in a bowl. Taste it and tweak the seasoning, then pop it in the fridge until serving time.
03 -
Coat the base of a big skillet with olive oil and warm it on medium-high heat. Lay the chicken pieces down in one layer and cook for around 3-4 minutes to get them golden. Flip them to the other side and cook for another 4-5 minutes until done.
04 -
Scoop some rice into a bowl and layer it with the cooked chicken, cucumbers, red onion, tomatoes, olives, feta, and a good-sized dollop of tzatziki sauce on top.
