The Rest




  • 3 cups cooked brown rice

  • 1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes halved

  • 1/2 cup red onion slices




Instructions




  1. In a large plastic zip bag, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon
    juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, greek yogurts and salt and pepper. Massage to
    mix.

  2. Add chicken into the bag.

  3. Massage to make sure chicken is full covered and marinate
    for at least 20 minutes, up to 12 hours.

  4. Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the
    marinade.

  5. In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.

  6. I used my Anolon Skillet which I love because it heats evenly,
    is metal utensil friendly, and can be used in the oven up to 400 degrees.

  7. Add chicken when it is hot, and cook, flipping part way
    through. Cook approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Cooking time depends on
    thickness and size of the chicken. Cook until internal temp is 165 degrees.

  8. Remove from pan, and let cool.

  9. Once cool, cut into bite sized pieces. Just make sure you
    let it cool, or all the juice will run out.

  10. Meanwhile, make cucumber salad by chunking the cucumbers,
    and tossing in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar,
    garlic, and oregano. Set aside

  11. Make tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, cucumber,
    garlic, dill weed, lemon juice, lemon zest in a small bowl; season with salt
    and pepper. And add mint (optional)

  12. Refrigerate while assembling your bowls.

  13. Cook brown rice according to package directions. When
    finished cooking, divide between meal prep containers, 1/2 cup in each container,
    halve cherry tomatoes, and mix with red onion slices. Divide amongst the bowls.

  14. Top with chicken, cucumber salad, and some tzatziki sauce.

  15. Keep for 3- 5 days in airtight container, serve cold!
