  3. Rinse and cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions, usually boiling in water for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork once cooked.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Cook marinated chicken for 7 minutes on one side, flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove chicken from the air fryer, let it rest for about 5 minutes, slice into strips, and assemble your bowls with a scoop of rice or quinoa, sliced chicken, and fresh vegetables.
  6. Drizzle homemade tzatziki generously over the assembled bowls, finish with olive oil and lemon juice, serve immediately.
