Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 whole pita breads or grain bowls
- Fresh vegetables: cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, lettuce
- Feta tzatziki sauce: 1 cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, 1 clove garlic minced, 1 tbsp chopped dill, 1 tbsp lemon juice, salt to taste
Instructions
- Marinate chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill or pan-fry the marinated chicken until cooked through and slightly charred, about 6-8 minutes per side. Slice into strips.
- Prepare feta tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Layer cooked grains like rice or quinoa in bowls. Top with sliced chicken, chopped vegetables, and generous spoonfuls of feta tzatziki. Serve with pita bread if desired.
Notes
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
- Use a grill or air fryer for quicker cooking and extra tenderness.
- Store leftovers sealed in the refrigerator: chicken and veggies for up to 3 days, feta tzatziki for 2 days.
- Reheat the chicken gently before assembling bowls for the best texture.
- Customize with additional vegetables or alternative proteins like falafel or chickpeas for vegetarian options.
