Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice

  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken and coat well. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F/75°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. Prepare tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt with grated cucumber (drained), olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Assemble each bowl with a base of rice or quinoa topped with sliced chicken and assorted fresh vegetables. Drizzle tzatziki generously over the top.
