- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
For the Tzatziki
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Cucumber (finely diced)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)

For the Bowl

- 1/4 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat well. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390F. Place the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer and air fry for 14-16 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until cooked through with charred edges and the internal temperature reaches 165F.
- While the chicken cooks, make the tzatziki by combining the greek yogurt, diced cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Let the chicken rest for 3-4 minutes, then slice into strips.
- Assemble the bowls with a base of cooked rice, top with the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese. Drizzle generously with tzatziki and serve with warm pita bread on the side.
