Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes) 455 g
- 3 tablespoons olive oil for marinating and dressing
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar for marinating and dressing
- 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning see notes below
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or as needed
For the Tzatziki
- 8 oz Greek yoghurt (plain, full-fat) 224 g
- 1/2 medium Persian cucumber (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (grated)
- Zest of 1 medium lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (minced)
For the Bowl Assembly
- 1 large Persian cucumber (diced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/3 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)
- 4 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- In a sealable container, combine the chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Greek seasoning, and sea salt. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight for deeper flavor.
Prepare Tzatziki
- In a medium bowl, mix together the yoghurt, grated cucumber, grated garlic, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, minced dill, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Refrigerate the tzatziki until ready to serve.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until it's golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced oregano, and salt for the dressing.
Assemble the Bowls
- In four individual serving bowls, divide the cooked chicken and top each with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, pitted Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Drizzle the red wine vinegar dressing over the bowls, then add a generous spoonful of tzatziki on top of each just before serving.
Notes
These Greek Chicken Bowls are delightful served warm, offering comforting warmth alongside the coolness of tzatziki. Garnish with extra fresh dill or a sprinkle of paprika for added color.
