01 -

Slice grape tomatoes, dice cucumber, shred lettuce, and slice red onion. Set all vegetables aside for assembly.
06 -
Preheat air fryer to 193°C. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 74°C.

Allow cooked chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.

In individual bowls, layer rice or quinoa with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, sliced chicken, and crumbled feta. Top generously with tzatziki sauce and serve immediately.
