• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (optional)
• 2 tsp oregano dried
• 1½ tsp salt fine
• 1 tsp black pepper

Greek Bowl:

• 1-2 cucumbers peeled and sliced
• 2 cups grape tomatoes sliced in halves
• ½ red onion sliced
• 1 cup Kalamata olives halved
• 1½ cups feta cheese
• Tzatziki Sauce store bought or see my delicious easy homemade recipe below
• 1-2 cups couscous

Homemade Tzatziki Sauce:

• 1½ cups greek yogurt plain
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 garlic cloves minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 TBSP fresh or dried dill
• 2 TBSP olive oil
• 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
• 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
• 1 cucumber peeled and grated, squeeze as much juice out of the cucumber as possible with a cheesecloth or a paper towel

Instructions

 

• Place all chicken, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, greek yogurt (optional), oregano, salt and black pepper in a freezer gallon-size ziploc bag or container. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• When at least 30 minutes is up and you are ready, start your couscous (or quinoa) using packaged instructions.
• While couscous (or quinoa) is cooking .start your lemon chicken by preheating the grill to medium heat and grease the grill with oil and a brush to prevent from sticking.
• Place chicken on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of the chicken) or until the middle is white and reaches at least 165 degrees
• Remove chicken from the grill and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Cut into slices.
• Tzatziki sauce: place all ingredients together except the grated cucumber. If you have not already grate and squeeze the cucumber to remove water before adding to the rest of ingredients.
• Greek Chicken Bowls: Place couscous (or quinoa) at the bottom of a bowl, sliced chicken on top, with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives and drizzle with homemade tzatziki. If you would like add a pinch of salt and a tad of fresh lemon juice to taste.
• Serve immediately!
