Instructions

Marinate chicken: Whisk all marinade ingredients. Pound chicken to ~½-inch thickness. Add to a zip bag or shallow dish, coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to a few hours in the fridge).
Make tzatziki: Combine all tzatziki ingredients. Taste and adjust salt/lemon. Chill until serving.
Prep bowl ingredients: Cook rice/quinoa and chop tomatoes, cucumber, romaine, and onion. Crumble feta.
Cook chicken (air fryer): Preheat to 380°F / 193°C. Cook for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for 3–4 more minutes until chicken reaches 165°F / 74°C internally.
Cook chicken (skillet): Heat a little oil over medium-low/medium. Cook about 7–8 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook until golden and 165°F inside.
Rest + slice: Rest chicken for 5 minutes, then slice.
Assemble: Add rice/quinoa, romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, sliced chicken, feta, and tzatziki. Optional: finish with olive oil + a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

For meal prep, store components separately for best texture. Avoid letting tzatziki get watery by squeezing the grated cucumber beforehand.
