Ingredients

Chicken:

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons garlic minced

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1/3 cup Cabot Greek Yogurt or Tillamook Plain Greek Yogurt

Salt and black pepper to taste

Cucumber Salad:

2 English cucumbers peeled and sliced

1/3 cup lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Tzatziki Sauce:

1 cup Cabot Greek Yogurt or Tillamook Plain Greek Yogurt

1 English cucumber finely diced

1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 tablespoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh mint optional

Salt and pepper to taste

Other:

3 cups cooked brown rice

1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes halved

1/2 cup sliced red onion

Instructions

In a zip bag combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, dried oregano, yogurt, salt, and pepper then mix until blended.

Place chicken inside the bag and coat evenly then marinate for at least twenty minutes.

Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium high heat then add chicken and cook until fully done and cooled before cutting into pieces.

Prepare cucumber salad by mixing sliced cucumbers with lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and oregano.

Prepare tzatziki by mixing yogurt, diced cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, zest, mint, salt, and pepper then chill.

Cook brown rice and divide into containers then add tomatoes and red onion.

Add chicken, cucumber salad, and tzatziki to each container and store in airtight containers.

Notes

Garlic levels can be adjusted depending on preference. The marinade is discarded after use so the garlic flavor stays balanced. Allow chicken to cool before cutting to maintain juiciness.
