Add the chicken and stir to coat. Marinate for at least 10 mins.
Attach the grill plates and set your griddle and grill to 200C. Add the chicken, close the lid, and set your timer to 8 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow it to rest.
Reduce the heat and carefully wipe the grill plates with some kitchen towel. Return to 200C and drizzle the grill with a little olive oil. Add your courgette slices. Add a small pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon, close the lid and cook until caramelised on both sides.
To make the salad:
In a medium bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, herbs and season with salt and pepper.
Add the cucumber and avocado slices and stir to coat.
Assemble the bowls starting with the rice, followed by the avocado salad, some courgette slices, top with chicken and finish with a sprinkle of feta, a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.
