  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • Fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, red onion)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Coat chicken pieces in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
