  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white apple vinegar
  • 3 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cups cucumber (diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 4 tomatoes (diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 23 kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
  • 0.25 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 0.75 cup feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for dressing)
  • 2 tbsp white apple vinegar (for dressing)
  • 1 tsp oregano (for dressing)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (for dressing)
  • 0.25 tsp dill weed (for dressing)
  • 1 tsp salt (for dressing)
  • 2 cups white rice

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, white apple vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade. Ensure they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing into strips.
  3. While the chicken cooks, dice cucumbers and tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Slice red onion thinly and halve kalamata olives if not pre-prepared. In another bowl, mix together feta cheese with olive oil, white apple vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, dill weed, and salt.
  4. Divide cooked white rice among four storage containers as a base layer. Top each rice portion with sliced chicken breast followed by diced cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, red onion slices, and feta mixture. Drizzle any remaining dressing over each bowl for extra flavor.
