Preparation Steps
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add sliced red onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
- Add diced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer together for about 4-5 minutes.
- Mix in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste along with dried oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the marinated chicken cubes to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Rinse 1 cup of long-grain rice under cold water until clear. In a separate saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and toast the rice for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let simmer for 18-20 minutes.
- While the rice rests, mix together 1 cup of Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh dill for tzatziki sauce. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Assemble your bowl with fluffy rice, cooked chicken mixture, drizzle with tzatziki sauce, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
