Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup orzo pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Tzatziki sauce, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for enhanced flavor).

    Cook the Orzo: In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

      Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

        Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, add a generous serving of the cooked orzo as the base. Top it with sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and Kalamata olives.

          Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with tzatziki sauce if desired, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, flavorful Greek Chicken Orzo Power Bowl!
