🍗 Step-by-Step Breakdown

1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken

Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat evenly.
💡 Tip: Marinate overnight for the most tender, flavorful chicken!

2️⃣ Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side (with the lid on) until golden and juicy. Let it rest before slicing.

3️⃣ Make the Salad & Tzatziki

In one bowl, toss cucumbers, bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, olives, feta, parsley, and lemon juice.
In another, stir together grated cucumber, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dill for the creamiest tzatziki. 🥒

4️⃣ Assemble Your Bowl

Start with a scoop of rice (or low-carb rice alternative). Top with sliced chicken, salad, and a generous spoon of tzatziki. Garnish with extra herbs for a restaurant-quality finish. 🌿

🔥 Pro Tips

✅ Marinate longer = juicier chicken
✅ Chill the tzatziki for 30 mins before serving for deeper flavour
✅ Use cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly option
