Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: Whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dill to create a marinade. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated, then marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, finely chopped cucumbers, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dill. Stir until smooth and let the mixture rest in the fridge.
  3. Cook the Rice or Quinoa: Cook according to package instructions, about 15-20 minutes. Fluff and set aside.
  4. Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place marinated chicken in the basket. Cook for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for 3-4 more minutes until cooked through.
  5. Rest and Slice the Chicken: Let cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  6. Assemble the Greek Chicken Bowls: Start with rice or quinoa, layer with sliced chicken, add fresh vegetables, and top with tzatziki. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
