Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper for the marinade. Pound the chicken breasts to about ½ inch thickness, add to the marinade, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dill in a mixing bowl. Stir well and refrigerate.
  3. Cook the grain of choice (rice or quinoa) according to package instructions, usually boiling then simmering until tender, about 15–20 minutes for rice or 12–15 minutes for quinoa.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and cook the marinated chicken for about 7 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes after cooking, then slice into strips.
  6. Assemble the bowls by layering rice or quinoa, sliced chicken, and fresh vegetables, finishing with a dollop of tzatziki and a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice.
