Instructions
Make the Chicken
- Take the chicken beasts and cut them in half lengthwise, making thinner pieces of chicken breast. Set aside.
- In a large ziplock bag, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, honey, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken. Seal the bag and move the chicken around a bit to make sure it is all fully coated. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- When the chicken is done marinating, turn on on grill, or preheat a grill pan. Once hot, cook the chicken until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Let it cool slightly, then slice the chicken.
Make the Potatoes
- *For more detailed instructions, check out the full post for these Greek Lemon Potatoes.*
- While the chicken is marinating, make the potatoes.
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
- Scrub the potatoes clean, then cut each potato in half, and then into wedges. Cut each wedge into 2-3 pieces - you want them each 1 to 2 bites big.
- Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and stir to coat.
- Place the potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet, keeping them in one layer. Pour the chicken broth into the pan, making sure to add it around the potatoes and not on top of the potatoes.
- Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350ºF and continue cooking for 40-50 minutes, until browned and crisp.
Make the Tzatziki
- In a bowl, combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until needed. (You can do this while the chicken is marinating and the potatoes are cooking.)
Make the Bowls
- To assemble the bowls, divide the potatoes between 6 bowls. Divide the chicken, then add the lettuce. Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, chickpeas, red onion, feta cheese, and kalamata olives. Serve each bowl topped with some of the tzatziki.
Notes
- Make sure you read through the whole recipe before starting. It's easy to overlap the steps in this recipe - so you can marinate the chicken while you bake.
