Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium cucumber, grated
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pita bread for serving
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest before slicing.
- For tzatziki sauce, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (after squeezing out excess moisture), minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl until combined.
- Assemble bowls by layering cooked grains (like rice or quinoa), grilled chicken slices, diced tomatoes, red onion slices, and tzatziki sauce on top.
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese (if using) and serve with warm pita bread.
