Instructions

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to make the chicken marinade.
Add chicken breasts to marinade and let sit at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Grill or pan-sear chicken until fully cooked, about 6–7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Slice into strips.
Prepare tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and chopped dill in a small bowl.
Assemble bowls: layer rice or quinoa, shredded romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and sliced chicken.
Top with feta cheese and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Marinate chicken overnight for extra flavor.
Swap rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
Extra vegetables like bell peppers or olives can be added for variety.
