Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

For the Bowl:

  • 1½ cups couscous

  • 1½ cups chicken broth or water

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cucumber, diced

  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup kalamata olives

  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

For the Yogurt Sauce:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours refrigerated).

  • Prepare couscous according to package instructions using chicken broth or water. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook chicken 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

  • In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

  • Assemble bowls: Start with couscous, add sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.

  • Drizzle yogurt sauce over the top and garnish with extra herbs if desired

Notes

  • Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy.Let the chicken rest before slicing to retain moisture.Pearl couscous can be used for a chewier texture (adjust cooking time).For meal prep, store components separately for maximum freshness.Add hummus or tzatziki for extra creaminess.
