• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh mint

Bowls

• 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-in thick slices
• 2 medium sweet peppers, cut into 1-in cubes
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups hot cooked rice (or other grain)
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• Shredded lettuce, flatbread, and additional fresh herbs for serving with bowls (optional)

Instructions

Chicken Souvlaki Marinade

• In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper together until smooth. Place chicken in a large bowl or resealable bag and pour marinade over top, making sure chicken is evenly submerged.
• Marinate chicken in refrigerator at least 2 hours or up to 12.

Tzatziki Sauce

• In a small bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Bowls

1. Combine zucchini and sweet peppers in a large bowl and toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Thread vegetables onto skewers.
2. Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto skewers, taking care to evenly space chicken chunks out on skewers.
3. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, arrange chicken and vegetable skewers on grill and turn occasionally 8-10 minutes until chicken registers 165F and vegetables are tender.
4. Assemble the bowls by dividing hot rice or other grain between 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with chicken skewers, vegetable skewers, cherry tomatoes, olives, and feta.
5. Serve bowls with tzatziki sauce on top along with shredded lettuce, flatbread, and additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
