Prepare the Chicken Skewers: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips, toss to coat, and marinate for 15 minutes. Thread chicken onto skewers and grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Make the Tzatziki Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Assemble the Bowl: Divide cooked bulgur wheat or quinoa among four bowls. Arrange cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, broccoli, avocado, and grilled chicken skewers over the base. Sprinkle with feta cheese.
Serve: Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce on the side. Serve with spinach or whole wheat pita wraps if desired.
Notes:
Swap bulgur for rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
Add olives or roasted red peppers for an extra Greek touch!
