Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Yes, but thighs stay more moist. If using breasts, reduce marinade time to 30 minutes and watch for dryness during grilling.

How long can I marinate the chicken?

Up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Marinate for at least 30 minutes for flavor, but overnight yields the most tender result.

Can I make tzatziki ahead?

Yes, make it up to 3 days ahead and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavor actually improves overnight.

Yes, naturally gluten-free as written. Verify your Greek seasoning blend contains no additives if you need certified GF.

Can I meal prep these bowls?

Assemble components separately and store for up to 4 days. Keep tzatziki separate until serving to prevent sogginess.

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs, olive oil, Greek yogurt, Greek seasoning, chopped dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
2
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
3
While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated and squeezed cucumber, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4
Prepare the cucumber tomato salad. In another bowl, combine diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and olive oil. Mix well and refrigerate.
5
To cook the rice, add chicken bone broth to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the broth is absorbed.
6
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the ghee until melted and combined.
7
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill grates.
8
Grill for 10-12 minutes on the first side.
9
Flip the chicken and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 185°F.
10
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
11
Slice the rested chicken into strips.
12
Assemble your bowl by starting with a base of rice, then adding the sliced chicken, a generous portion of the cucumber-tomato salad, a dollop of tzatziki, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
