Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) 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
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 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 pieces and coat well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  3. In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt with grated cucumber. Add olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined; taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. For each serving, start with a scoop of rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice as your base. Arrange sliced chicken on top along with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, and feta cheese. Drizzle tzatziki generously over everything or serve it on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired.
