Ingredients
For the Greek Chicken:
- 1 lb chicken breast 2 boneless, skinless breasts, sliced lengthwise into 4 cutlets
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp dried oregano leaves
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Salad Ingredients:
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved, or chopped heirloom tomatoes
- ½ English cucumber or 2 garden cucumbers, sliced
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 avocado chopped
- ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup kalamata olives pitted and sliced
- 6 oz feta cheese (about 1 cup diced)
Toppings:
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or added to taste, divided
- 1 lemon cut into wedges to serve
- salt and freshly cracked black pepper added to taste
- 1 cup Tzatziki sauce or more to taste, divided
- 4 pieces pita bread cut into wedges, divided (See gluten-free variations*)
Instructions
- Make the tzatziki sauce then slice and chop the rest of your bowl veggies and toppings.
- Marinate the Chicken - In a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken cutlets with olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Seal the bag and toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Cook the Greek Chicken - Preheat the grill or skillet to medium heat. Grill or sauté the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part of the chicken. Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Bowls - Divide the salad ingredients into 4 large shallow bowls: chopped chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
- To Serve - Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, squeeze a lemon wedge over your bowls, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with tzatziki sauce, toss gently to combine and serve with pita bread wedges.
Notes
