Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice (1 tablespoon), grated garlic, olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Add cubed chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Make Tzatziki Sauce: In another bowl, mix shredded cucumber with remaining Greek yogurt, lemon juice (1 tablespoon), dill, grated garlic (adjust to taste), salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for about 8–10 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
Assemble Bowls: Start with a base of cooked brown rice. Top with sautéed chicken, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
