- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or preferably in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and dill in a bowl. Set aside.
- Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the rice or quinoa among four bowls, top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, romaine lettuce, red onion, and feta. Finally, drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
