  1. Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water. Combine with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan; bring to boil, then simmer for about 45 minutes.
  2. Season 1 pound of chicken breasts with Greek seasoning and black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet; cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken and let it rest for 10 minutes before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinaigrette, juice of half a lemon, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper in a mason jar; shake well.

  6. Assemble the bowls starting with a scoop of rice, followed by the chopped chicken and cucumber salad. Drizzle with any remaining vinaigrette and serve immediately.
