Step 1
Slice chicken breast horizontally to create two thin cutlets of even thickness.
Step 2
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Step 3
Slice cucumber into half-moons. Halve cherry tomatoes. Set vegetables aside.
Step 4
Boil rice in salted water until tender and water is absorbed, ~18 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Step 5
While rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side without moving. Edges should look golden; centers cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Rest 3 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Step 8
Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 9
Divide cooked rice between two bowls. Top with chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, and feta.
Step 10
Drizzle lemon dressing over the bowl. Serve immediately.
