Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, ¼ cup olive oil, garlic, oregano, dill, lemon zest and juice, salt, coriander, and pepper to a large Ziplock bag. Squish the contents around to combine well, then place the chicken inside and massage the marinade around it, ensuring it’s completely coasted. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for 1-24 hours.
- When ready to cook, set a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then cook the chicken, in batches if necessary, for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Meanwhile, combine the cucumber, onion, tomatoes, dill, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper; set aside.
- To assemble, divide the rice (or chopped lettuce) into 4 bowls. Top with sliced cooked chicken, marinated vegetables, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce. Serve with pita bread and lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store chicken tzatziki bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
