  3. Cook rice or quinoa as per package instructions, generally taking about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Cook marinated chicken for about 7 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Assemble bowls by layering rice or quinoa, followed by fresh vegetables, sliced chicken, and drizzle with tzatziki, olive oil, and lemon juice.
