Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pound chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick and place in the marinade for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and chopped dill in a separate bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat an air fryer to 380°F or heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook marinated chicken for 7 minutes on one side; flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Assemble Bowls: Let the chicken rest before slicing into strips. In bowls, layer cooked rice or quinoa with lettuce, sliced chicken, fresh veggies (like tomatoes and cucumbers), and drizzle tzatziki sauce on top.
