Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade. Combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Pound the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick and add to a shallow bowl or ziplock bag with the marinade. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours.
- Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki and set aside. Mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and dill.
- Prep the rice and veggies. Assemble cooked rice or quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, red onion, and feta.
- Cook the chicken. Air fry at 380°F for 7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for 3-4 more minutes. Alternatively, fry in a skillet until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes away from the heat, then slice.
