Instructions

Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
In a large bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together remaining olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, salt, and pepper. Adjust acidity or salt as needed.
Pour dressing over the vegetable mix and toss gently to combine.
Divide cooked quinoa or rice among four bowls. Top each with sliced chicken and a generous scoop of the dressed vegetables. Garnish with chopped parsley and optional feta or olives. Serve tzatziki on the side.

Notes

Best chicken cuts: Use boneless, skinless chicken breast for lean protein. If you prefer juicier meat, boneless thigh fillets are excellent.
