  • 1 cup white rice long-grain or basmati
  • 2 cups English cucumbers sliced
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 0.5 cup red onion thinly slivered
  • 0.5 cup kalamata olives pitted
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce thick and creamy
  • 1 sprig fresh dill for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Cast-Iron Skillet For achieving the perfect char on the chicken.
  • 4 Meal Prep Containers Airtight glass or plastic containers.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse rice and cook with 2 cups water and salt for 15-18 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Toss chicken cubes with olive oil, lemon, garlic, and oregano. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Cook chicken in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until charred and golden-brown.
  4. Divide rice into 4 containers. Top with charred chicken, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, and feta. Add a dollop of tzatziki and a sprig of dill.

Notes

Cool all cooked items to room temperature before sealing containers to avoid sogginess.
Keep tzatziki in a separate small container for the best experience.
