Method

Marinate the chicken.
Mix the marinade in a bowl: yoghurt, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, crushed garlic, oregano and salt.
Add the chicken chunks and turn to coat.
Leave for 15 minutes while you prep everything else, or longer in the fridge if you have time.
Cook the rice.
Cook the rice in plenty of salted water until tender, then drain.
Squeeze in a little lemon juice and fork through.
Make the tzatziki.
Stir the grated, squeezed cucumber into the yoghurt with the garlic and lemon juice.
Season and set aside.
Grill the chicken.
Thread the chicken onto skewers.
Grill on a hot griddle pan, barbecue or under the grill for 5 to 6 minutes each side, until charred at the edges and cooked through.
Make the salad.
Dice the tomato and cucumber, slice the onion.
Toss together for the salad.
Assembly and serving.
Build each bowl: rice on the base, the chopped salad and olives alongside, chicken skewers on top.
Spoon over tzatziki and scatter the feta.
