Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups halved grape tomatoes
  • 2 cups diced cucumber
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick and marinate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
