Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
2. Cook the Rice: Boil water in a pot and add brown rice with a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork.

5. Assemble Your Bowls: Slice grilled chicken and layer brown rice in bowls or meal prep containers. Top with sliced chicken, diced vegetables, crumbled feta cheese, and drizzle with sauce.
