Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Flatten chicken breasts to ½ inch thick and soak in marinade for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours in the fridge).
  2. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill, and lemon juice to create tzatziki. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  3. Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork when ready.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Cook chicken for 7 minutes on one side, flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  6. Assemble bowls with a base of rice or quinoa, layered with fresh veggies, sliced chicken, and a drizzle of tzatziki. Finish with olive oil and lemon juice.
