Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1  Lemon, Juiced
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • FOR THE RICE:
  • ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1  Small Onion, Diced
  • 1-½ cup Basmati Rice
  • 3-¾ cups Water Or Chicken Stock
  • FOR THE TZATZIKI:
  • ½ cups Grated Cucumber
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1-½ teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Dill
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • Pepper
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 1  Medium Cucumber, Halved And Sliced
  • 1  Large Tomato, Sliced Into Wedges
  • 1  Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • Salt And Pepper

Preparation

For the chicken:
In a large bowl, or gallon-sized plastic zipper bag, add chicken breast pieces, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover, refrigerate, and let marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove from marinade and place on a grill ban or rack. Broil in oven, or grill for 5 minutes on each side.

For the rice:
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium size saucepan. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and stock and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat, stir the rice, cover, and let simmer according to package cooking time.

For the tzatziki:
Place the grated cucumber in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, squeeze and drain as much water as you can out of the cucumber.

In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, drained cucumber, vinegar, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the salad:
In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, onion slices, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Toss and serve.

To assemble the dish, place rice into a bowl. Top with a piece of chicken, a scoop of tzatziki, and some salad. Enjoy!
