Ingredients
- about 680 g Chicken Breast
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
- 4 cups Cooked Rice
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red Onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata Olives
- 0.5 cup Dairy-Free Feta (optional)
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the about 680 g of chicken breast to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
- 2Heat an approximately 30 cm skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot. Carefully place the marinated chicken breast into the hot skillet. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, until the chicken is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
- 3Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean cutting board. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. After resting, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- 4While the chicken rests, prepare the bowl components. Cut the 1 medium cucumber into 1.27 cm pieces. Halve the 1 pint of cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the 0.5 medium red onion. If using, measure the 0.5 cup of Kalamata olives.
- 5Divide the 4 cups of cooked rice among four serving bowls. Arrange the cut cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives around the rice in each bowl.
- 6Top the rice and vegetable mixture in each bowl with the sliced chicken. If using, crumble the 0.5 cup of dairy-free feta over the chicken. Serve immediately.
