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 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 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. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Alternatively, preheat your grill or grill pan and cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  3. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Add a scoop of rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice to each bowl. Arrange sliced chicken on top along with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, and feta cheese. Drizzle tzatziki sauce generously over the bowl or serve on the side. Garnish with parsley or dill if desired.
