  2. For tzatziki, combine yogurt, diced cucumber, chopped dill, mint, a pinch of salt, and lemon juice. Mix until creamy and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Cooking Chicken
  1. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Cook marinated chicken for 7 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Finishing Touches
