These Greek Chicken Bowls are piled high with marinated lemon chicken and all the Mediterranean ingredients you love. Try them on top of rice, quinoa, or lettuce for a hearty meal that is totally customizable.
Juice and zest one lemon. In a large bowl, combine the chicken marinade ingredients, lemon juice and lemon zest, yogurt, garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken pieces to marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
Slice remaining lemon into small wedges (1 large lemon should yield about 16 small ½ wedges). Thread chicken and lemon wedges onto skewers, being sure the skewers will fit in your air fryer.
Set air fryer to 350 and arrange skewers in a single layer. Cook 8 minutes. Flip, and cook another 8 minutes.
While the air fryer is doing it's thing, cook your base ingredients like quinoa, rice, or cauliflower rice according to package directions.
Set out all the toppings your family wants (see the list above for ideas!) in individual bowls so everyone can assemble their own Greek bowls!
