Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- While chicken cooks, prepare garlic sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, grated garlic, and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
- Assemble bowls by dividing rice among four bowls. Top with grilled chicken (removed from skewers), cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with garlic sauce and serve immediately.
