This dish is not only visually stunning but also incredibly versatile, making it perfect for gatherings or quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cucumber (diced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • Pita bread or rice for serving

Instructions

  1. 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly; let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and juices run clear.
  3. 3. Prepare the Veggies: Chop cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
  4. 4. Make Tzatziki Sauce: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed), minced garlic, lemon juice, dill (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. 5. Assemble the Bowls: Slice cooked chicken. Layer rice or pita on plates, add sliced chicken, then top with chopped veggies and tzatziki sauce.
