A delightful mix of flavors and textures featuring tender chicken marinated in zesty spices, fresh vegetables, and creamy tzatziki sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 grams (about 1 pound) chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 100 grams (about 3.5 ounces) feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 pieces of pita bread
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown.
- Prepare the vegetables by dicing the cucumber and tomatoes, and thinly slicing the red onion.
- Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or on a grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Assemble the bowl starting with a base of sliced chicken, then arrange the diced cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion around it. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
- Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the chicken and vegetables to finish.
Notes
- For gluten-free, use quinoa instead of pita bread.
- For vegan, replace chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
- Reheat chicken and vegetables in the microwave; freeze without tzatziki sauce.
