step by step

Method

  1. Marinate the chicken

    • In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the salt, dried thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey and a drizzle of olive oil.
    • Mix well to coat, then set aside to marinate.
    Step 1

  2. Cook the rice

    • Heat the olive oil in a medium pot and sauté the onion for 4 minutes, then add the garlic and seasonings and cook for 1–2 minutes.
    • Add the broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 12–15 minutes.
    • Rest for 5 minutes, then fluff and stir through the parsley and dill.
    Step 2

  3. Cook the chicken

    • Preheat the air fryer to 195 °C for 3–4 minutes.
    • Place the chicken in the basket in a single layer without overcrowding and cook for 14–16 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through. Alternatively, cook in a lightly oiled frying pan over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.
    • Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
    Step 3

  4. Make the tzatziki

    • Combine the Greek yoghurt, grated cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice and salt.
    • Mix until smooth, then taste and season.
    Step 4

  5. Prepare the Greek salad

    • Combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta, red onion, black olives, parsley, salt and lemon juice.
    • Toss gently.
    Step 5

  6. Assemble the bowls

    • Divide the rice between 4 bowls.
    • Top with the sliced chicken, the Greek salad and a generous dollop of tzatziki.
