Cooking Instructions
Pour the olive oil into a pan and warm it over medium heat.
Toss in the diced chicken breast along with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir it all together.
Let the chicken cook in the pan for about 7-10 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and reaches an internal temp of 165°F.
In a large bowl, start by adding the cooked rice as the base. Then, layer on the hot, seasoned chicken, followed by cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Generously spoon the tzatziki sauce over the layered ingredients.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch and serve immediately.
Optional: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
