Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Olive Oil
3 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (full-fat recommended)
1/2 cup Cucumber (grated, squeezed dry)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp Fresh Dill (chopped)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
4 cups Cooked Quinoa or Brown Rice
1.5 cups Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1 cup Cucumber (diced)
1/2 cup Red Onion (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup Kalamata Olives (pitted, halved)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
  2. While the chicken marinates, prepare tzatziki by grating cucumber and squeezing out excess water. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, squeezed cucumber, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Stir and refrigerate
  3. Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing
  4. Divide quinoa or rice into serving bowls and top with sliced chicke
  5. Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives around the chicke
  6. Dollop with tzatziki and garnish with feta and parsley. Serve immediately

Notes

Marinate chicken for 2-4 hours for maximum flavor.

Squeeze cucumber dry for thicker tzatziki.
