Instructions

In a large plastic bag or bowl, add chicken breasts and all seasoning ingredients. Toss to combine and let marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes. 

While marinating, make tzatziki by adding all ingredients to a small bowl and mixing to combine. Store in the fridge until ready to use.

Place marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and broil on high for 6 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, arrange your bowls. Heat your cooked quinoa and brown rice blend and divide between four bowls. Top with olives, tomatoes, cucumber, butter lettuce, feta cheese and fresh mint. Add one chicken breast to each bowl, along with a dollop of fresh tzatziki. Serve immediately.
