A delightful and nutritious high protein meal featuring juicy chicken marinated in lemon and dill, served with fresh veggies and tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce

Instructions

  1. Create the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, coating them thoroughly in the marinade, and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Basmati Rice: While the chicken is marinating, cook it according to the package instructions, using either water or chicken broth.
  3. Grill or Pan-Sear the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked.
  4. Prepare the Fresh Veggies: Dice the cucumber and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  5. Final Assembly: Grab a bowl, place a generous scoop of rice as your base, layer on the sliced chicken, top with fresh veggies, and add a dollop of tzatziki sauce.

Notes

For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
