Ingredients

For the Chicken
  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil divided (¼ cup + 2 tablespoons)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves (or ½ tablespoon dried)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
For the Bowls
  • 1 English cucumber thinly sliced
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
  • 3 cups steamed white rice for serving
  • ¾ cup crumbled Feta cheese
  • ½ cup Tzatziki sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the cucumber, onion, tomatoes, dill, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper; set aside.
  4. 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.
