Creating Mediterranean-Inspired Lemon-Dill Chicken Bowls is simple. Follow these straightforward steps to enjoy this flavorful meal:

1. Prep Chicken: Start by slicing the chicken breasts into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
2. Season Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and thoroughly coat it with the marinade. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
3. Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces into the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Prepare the Quinoa/Rice: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your quinoa or brown rice according to the package instructions.
5. Chop Vegetables: As the grains cook, prepare your vegetables—dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the red bell pepper.
6. Assemble Bowls: Once everything is cooked and ready, begin assembling your bowls. Start with a layer of cooked quinoa or rice.
7. Add Chicken: Slice or cube the cooked chicken and place it on top of the quinoa or rice.
8. Add Vegetables: Arrange the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper around the chicken for a beautiful presentation.
9. Top with Feta: If using feta cheese, crumble it over the top of each bowl for an added layer of flavor.
10. Garnish: Finish by adding fresh dill sprigs for garnish and a light drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
