Instructions

Marinate the chicken by combining olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Let it rest before slicing.
Prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt with grated cucumber (squeezed), olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
Assemble your bowls by starting with a base of rice or quinoa and adding sliced chicken and fresh toppings. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
