Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1.5 cups white rice
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator).

Step 2

Prepare the rice: In a medium-sized pot, combine white rice, chicken broth, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked. Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in the chopped parsley.

Step 3

Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 4

Assemble the dish: On each plate, serve a generous helping of herbed rice. Top with slices of grilled chicken. Arrange cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, and kalamata olives around the chicken.

Step 5

Finish with toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top. Optionally, drizzle a little extra olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavors.

Step 6

Serve immediately: Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful 'Greek Tycoon' dish!
