Step-by-Step Instructions

Marinate Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Place chicken in the marinade and cover. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
Cook Chicken: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6–7 minutes on each side until internal temperature is 165°F.
Prepare Base: Cook couscous, quinoa, or brown rice as per package instructions, typically 15-20 minutes. Stir in reserved marinade for extra flavor.
Make Yogurt Sauce: Mix yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and feta. Whisk until smooth. Grate cucumber into the mixture for added freshness.
Assemble Bowls: Start with cooked grain base, add sliced grilled chicken, roasted chickpeas, diced veggies for a nutritious medley.
Finish: Drizzle yogurt sauce over bowls and garnish with fresh herbs and extra feta if desired. Serve and enjoy!
