Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Instructions
- 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- 2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Let it rest before slicing.
- 3. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, chop cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, and slice red onion. Combine all vegetables in a large bowl.
- 4. Make Tzatziki Sauce: In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- 5. Assemble Bowls: Slice grilled chicken and layer quinoa or rice (if using) in serving bowls. Top with vegetables, sliced chicken, and tzatziki sauce.

Keywords: Allowing chicken to marinate longer enhances flavor—aim for at least one hour. Feel free to add roasted bell peppers or olives for extra flavor.
