Description
A delightful dish that combines marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy tzatziki sauce, offering a fresh and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for marinating)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 medium cucumber (grated)
- 2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 small red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled, optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
- Prepare the tzatziki sauce: In another bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt.
- Assemble the bowls: In a serving bowl, layer the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and tzatziki sauce. Sprinkle feta cheese on top if desired.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy this delicious bowl while everything is fresh and warm.
Notes
Allowing the chicken to marinate longer enhances the flavor. Use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
