Ingredients
For the Chicken:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Juice of ½ lemon

For the Lemon Rice:
1 cup cooked brown or jasmine rice
½ cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Juice of ½ lemon
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Coat the chicken in the marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.
3. Prepare the Rice Mixture: In the same pan, sauté chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and spinach for 2–3 minutes. Add cooked rice and mix well.
4. Add Flavor: Stir in feta cheese, parsley, dill, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
5. Assemble the Bowl: Serve sliced chicken over the lemon rice mixture and enjoy!

Tips for Meal Prepping:
Marinate Ahead: Let the chicken marinate overnight for more flavor.
Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheating Tip: Warm in a skillet over medium heat to maintain texture.
