Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours for deeper flavor.
- Cook the Chicken – Grill or pan-sear chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- Make the Honey Feta Sauce – In a food processor or blender, combine feta, Greek yogurt, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Assemble the Bowls – Divide rice, quinoa, or couscous into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives. Drizzle generously with honey feta sauce and sprinkle fresh herbs. Serve with pita if desired.
