What kind of toppings can I add to these Skinny Greek Chicken Bowls?

I’m all about the toppings with endless possibilities…you can add:

• Cherry or grape tomatoes-halved 
• Cucumbers-chopped 
• Kalamata olives-halved
• Red onion-thinly sliced
• Fat free feta cheese-crumbled
• Avocado-thinly sliced
• Chickpeas-drained and rinsed
• Dill and or parsley-fresh or dry

What does marinating the chicken in Greek yogurt do?

Marinating the chicken in plain Greek yogurt makes the chicken super tender. The non fat plain Greek yogurt is similar to buttermilk in its acidic and tenderizing qualities. The acids and enzymes work to break down the proteins in the chicken before cooking- giving it a tender texture. If you wanted, you could use skim milk as a substitute for the Greek yogurt. 

How do I make these Skinny Greek Chicken Bowls?

Dice chicken and place into a large mixing bowl. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, seasonings, greek yogurt, salt and pepper and stir and toss until diced chicken is well coated.

Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Spray a cast iron grill or skillet with non stick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.

Grill or cook diced chicken until lightly golden and the excessive liquid evaporates (about 7-10 minutes).

 Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing from cast iron grill or skillet. 

Assemble the bowls: add 1/2 cooked rice or quinoa to each of the 4 bowls.

Top with the cooked diced grilled chicken, 1/2 cup lettuce, and then add your favorite toppings such as: halved cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced red onion, chopped English cucumber.

For additional points you can add: feta cheese, avocado, and or kalamata olives.

Then top with 2 Tbsp Zero Point Tzatziki Sauce.
