Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken and coat evenly. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare your rice according to package directions while the chicken marinates. Fluff with a fork when done and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside has golden-brown char marks. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    While the chicken rests, dice the cucumber, halve the tomatoes, and slice the red onion.

  5. 5

    Divide the rice among four bowls. Arrange sliced chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and olives in sections over the rice. Add a dollop of tzatziki and hummus, scatter feta on top, and finish with fresh herbs and a lemon wedge.
